Inclusion – Symposium om urban mångfald

4 March 2015

Symposium 15.00–17.30
Publikt samtal kopplat till Patchwork of Narratives 18.00–19.00

The segregation in Stockholm County has increased from 1995 to 2010, which was mapped for example in the report ”The Segregation in Stockholm County” (2014). Rich and poor live in increasingly isolated enclaves, going about their everyday lives in different worlds. What are the underlying reasons for this change? What methods and tools are available to reverse the trend? And how can we work more with the well-off areas? What is the connection between the mental and the physical Stockholm?

Short lectures will be interspersed with discussion and mingle.
