Urban Ethnic Encounters: The Spatial Consequences

This collection attempts to answer the two leading questions of how urban space structures the life of ethnic groups and how ethnic diversity helps to shape urban space. A multi-disciplinary team of authors search the various dimensions of the spatial organization of inter-ethnic relations in cities around the globe. The presentation of material from diverse locations such as Toronto, Philadelphia, Beirut, Jakarta, Tehran, Osaka and Albuquerque presents a unique opportunity for comparative analysis of ethnicity and spatial patterns.
