The Concept of Diversity in Migration and Urban Studies

Monika Salzbrunn

Chapter 2 in The Economies of Urban Diversity, 2013, pp 27-46 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The marketing of diversity in urban contexts results from two recent phenomena. First, the positive view taken of cosmopolitan and diverse urban environments (by city governments, by tourists, and by investors), and, second, the empowerment of minorities who put their religious, ethnic, and gendered expressions of (multiple) belonging on stage. In the following chapter, I give an overview of the concept of diversity in different scientific communities, starting from the first uses of the term 30 years ago in the United States. Recently, the German Sociological Association (GSA) organized its annual conference around the theme “Diversity and Cohesion: Challenges of a New Societal Complexity.”2
