Summary

The majority of the world's population now lives in cities. The social, cultural and economic problems and opportunities that are generated by this extraordinary concentration of people have become symbolic of the contemporary human condition. This burgeoning of city life has in particular led to progressively greater concentrations of demographic groups from increasingly diverse backgrounds and resulted in new forms of cultural conflict and cultural dialogue.
