Description: Design for Social Diversity by Emily Talen, Sungduck Lee This new edition addresses the physical requirements of socially diverse neighborhoods. The authors investigate whether social diversity is related to particular patterns and structures found within the urban built environment. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description The most successful urban communities are very often those that are the most diverse – in terms of income, age, family structure and ethnicity – and yet poor urban design and planning can stifle the very diversity that makes communities successful. Just as poor urban design can lead to sterile monoculture, successful planning can support the conditions needed for diverse communities.This new edition addresses the physical requirements of socially diverse neighborhoods. Using the city of Chicago and its surrounding suburban areas as a case study, the authors investigate whether social diversity is related to particular patterns and structures found within the urban built environment. Design for Social Diversity provides urban designers and architects with design strategies and tools to ensure that their work sustains and nurtures social diversity.
