Urban space mediates how diversity and racialization play out differently

Evidence

Notable here is his reading of how ethnic diversity and processes of racialization are constituted differently in the ‘cultural quarter’, ‘the banlieue’, ‘the street’ and ‘the ghetto’ respectively—all four of which are ways in which diverse spaces are pictured and regimented. Whilst this article is not in a position to engage the finer vagaries of space—concerning the relationship between planning, infrastructure, patterns of governance, settlement and local use—, I take from Keith the salutary observation that urban space (both diffuse areas and sites within it [e.g., the corner-shop]) is not constituted abstractly, is not lived outside of different configurations of power and status. For instance, the corner-shop might carry a different symbolic charge regard­ ing possibilities for multicultural exchange when contrasted to how other spaces become locally drawn—be it the estate square, or, as alluded to earlier, the decidedly unglamorous but densely peopled, bustling consumer high street. — Sivamohan Valluvan, Conviviality and Multiculture, 67
