Neighbourhood Dynamics and Urban Vitality
Neighbourhood Dynamics and Urban Vitality
The continued excitement surrounding the study of urban neighbourhoods provides the focus for this session. As societies have grown more unequal and more diverse, the neighbourhood has come to be seen as a vital level where processes may aid or impede the achievement of important social goals: the search for greater equality, integration, tolerance or cohesion, for example. At the same time, economic and environmental goals have emphasised the need for greater neighbourhood vitality to attract more people to live in cities. Understanding the processes and possibilities of neighbourhood life has therefore taken on renewed importance. At the same time, researchers have begun to offer more nuanced and sophisticated understandings of neighbourhood dynamics and structures: how they connect to each other, how they integrate into wider spatial and social structures, and how they change over time. In this conference theme, therefore, we welcome papers on the following or related topics (the list is meant to be indicative not restrictive):
- Inequality, segregation and area effects
- Integration, tolerance and cohesion within neighbourhoods
- Neighbourhood vitality and alternative models of city living
- Migration, residential mobility and neighbourhood careers
- Neighbourhood change, trajectories and residential impacts
