Living together in multi-ethnic neighbourhoods

the meaning of public spaces for issues of social integration

Peters, K. (2011). Living together in multi-ethnic neighbourhoods: the meaning of public spaces for issues of social integration. Wageningen: Wageningen Academic Publishers.

In Western societies, such as the Netherlands, people with different ethnic backgrounds live together in urban areas. This book examines daily life in multi-ethnic neighbourhoods and the meaning of public spaces for social integration. Through observations and interviews in two Dutch cities (Nijmegen en Utrecht) insight is gained into the use and perception of public spaces. Positive experiences in public spaces contribute to feeling at home in a multi-ethnic neighbourhood. Not only intense and lasting contacts, but also fleeting interactions contribute to feeling at home.
