Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

This course sheds light on the dynamic change of cities and neighbourhoods by looking at socio-spatial driving forces such as, e.g. migration or demographic change to identify fragmented lifestyles and small-scale segregation patterns. The notion of “urban diversity” includes processes and practices of a variety of socio-demographic criteria such as age, gender, ethnicity or income. This course entails independent literature-based analyses (group work) and critical discussions towards reflections on socio-spatial disparities as well as potential for social inclusiveness.
