Cultural Diversity and the City

Overview

Cities all over the world have embraced cultural and religious diversity, creating unique heritages. On Cultural Diversity and the City at European University Institute (EUI) by FutureLearn  you will investigate both ‘old’ and ‘new’ diversities in city heritage in four different continents.

Key facts:

You will look at cities with a divisive heritage (Bristol as a slave port) and a post-migration heritage (such as Cologne in Germany). You will will also look at major post-colonial urban centres and how they used cultural diversity to revitalise inner city areas. You will also consider those cities that turn diversity into a branding tool, like Singapore or Doha.
