Conclusions: Conflict and Conviviality in Diversity Diverse Public Realm and Its Promises Implications beyond Los Angeles Appendices Notes ReferencesReviewsDiversity is often discussed in abstract terms or sociodemographic percentages. But how is diversity experienced by the residents of a city? In this eloquently written book, diversity - with all its complexities and tensions - is grounded through the voices of residents in one of the most diverse global cities: Los Angeles. Grounded in social sciences and design theory, the book is a welcome and refreshing read for everyone interested in cities as social and physical constructs. - Anastasia Loukaitou-Sideris, Distinguished Professor of Urban Planning, University of California, Los Angeles Drawing on rich fieldwork in three Los Angeles neighbourhoods, Felicity Hwee-Hwa Chan explores the forms of urban public life which overlay social frictions, manifold diversities, and spatial coexistence. Working across and between boundaries traced by socio-economic difference, planning practices, and everyday imaginations, Chan's study affirms the possibilities for belonging outside an imperative of integration. - Fran Tonkiss, Professor of Sociology, London School of Economics Author InformationFelicity Hwee-Hwa Chan is a fellow at the Lee Kuan Yew Center for Innovative Cities at the Singapore University of Technology and Design.
