This book is dedicated to the memory of Professor Dr Ronald van Kempen. Ronald coordinated the large-scale collaborative European research project DIVERCITIES (see www.urbandivercities.eu) until the very last days of his life. DIVERCITIES focused on the question of how to create social cohesion, social mobility and economic performance in todays hyper-diverse cities. The DIVERCITIES project provided the framework for the organisation of three conference sessions titled The challenge of diversity: Does urban diversity contribute to the ideal city? at the annual RC21 conference in August 2015 in Urbino, Italy. This book is based on a selection of papers that were presented in these conference sessions. Ronald was involved in organising the conference sessions and co-authored the book proposal, but sadly passed away before work on the book started.

We will remember Ronald as a highly committed and prolific scholar, who made a lasting impact on social sciences research on diversity and social inequality in cities, housing and urban policy.
