Integrating superdiversity in urban governance: the case of inner-city Lisbon
分析了里斯本莫拉里亚社区如何通过去族裔化、多样性审美化和城市品牌化等策略,将移民驱动的超级多样性融入城市治理,以促进经济发展和文化多样性。
This paper analyses how urban governance incorporated migration-driven superdiversity combining cultural and economic development policies. We use the case of Mouraria, a Lisbon neighbourhood, as a site where city strategies accommodate old and new diversities to render a cosmopolitan sense associated to a ‘diversity advantage’ approach. We identify three strategies shaping urban governance: de-ethnicisation of superdiversity and urban growth policies, diversity aestheticisation and the rationale of encounter, and place marketing and city branding. We find that urban governance in a superdiverse neighbourhood relies on policies of economic development and market creation that incorporate cultural diversity from a de-ethnicised perspective.
