Description
Summary:<p>The contemporary metropolis is characterised by an increasing diversity of its population, which is called “super-diversity” or “hyperdiversity” in the urban discourse. This epistemological realignment breaks new ground away from the classic Chicago School. Associated with this “diversification of diversity” (Vertovec, 2007:1025) is a fragmentation of the different social and ethnic groups in the city. However, the concept of super-diversity camouflages a separateness of these groups that is called <i>newguineaisation</i> in this paper. With that said, this new urban reality claims for empirical investigations of the societal implication of this phenomenon especially with regard to social cohesion in contemporary cities.</p>
