Preface

In this book I explore the role that urban management of ethnic conflict plays in stabilization and reconciliation processes in which strife-torn societies are engaged. The book focuses on the role of policy and planning in contested urban environments and the effects these urban strategies have on moving a society forward from disruptive intergroup instability and hostility toward ethnic accommodation and peace. I explore whether there are lessons for regional and national political negotiations that come from deeply divided cities regarding how to produce more mutually tolerable multiethnic living environments. I examine the hypothesis that urban peace-building, rather than being necessarily derivative of larger political agreements, can be formative of such national settlements.
