Cohabitation

The term cohabitation highlights the spatial dimension of pluralism: the idea that different identities and lifestyles should be recognised and supported within a society. A focus on cohabitation is very important in highly diverse urban contexts because it sheds light on the challenge of sharing space amongst different social and cultural groups. The section explores cohabitation at different scales: the home, the neighbourhood, the city. It offers insights into what cohabitation may look like, and how it may be supported in practice.
