Roundtable: Planning for Cultural and Ethnic Pluralism

This panel discusses the issue of planning for cultural and ethnic pluralism, focusing especially on urban diversity politics and practices related to migration. With Denmark as an empirical case, it focuses on a set of terms and themes in the intersection of urban studies and migration studies that are also prevalent in the policy fields of migration/integration and urban governance/planning, such as: social cohesion, social capital, security, coexistence, conviviality, social mixing, dispersion, citizen participation and justice. The aim is to foreground the conceptual foundation of the terms and themes in theory, policy and everyday practice that connect 1) the fields of urban studies and migration studies, 2) research and policy, and 3) the policy level and the realm of everyday life.
