Book Launch of Enabling Inclusive and Collective Life in Diverse Cities: A Conversation about Los Angeles and Singapore
Synopsis
Urban landscapes are complex spaces of sociocultural diversity, characterized by narratives of both conviviality and conflict. As people with multiple ethnicities and nationalities find their common destinies in thriving globalizing cities, social cohesiveness becomes more precarious as different beliefs, practices, ambitions, values, and affiliations intersect in close proximity, producing social tensions. Drawing on the insights from the book Tensions in Diversity: Spaces for Collective Life in Los Angeles (2022) by Felicity HH Chan, a panel of experts of academics and practitioners will discuss the challenges of diversity living in Singapore, and the possibilities of designing and planning for intercultural learning in public places.
Private event by invitation only as seating is limited.
