As you read the following pieces, I invite you to consider a few point about our conceptions and about the meaning of the term "multicultural."Item Urban diversity: Planning for multicultural cities(Canadian Institute of Planners, 2000) Burstein, Meyer; Grenier, SylvieThe idea of a conference on urban diversity took root when the Region of Ottawa-Carleton started its Regional Official Plan Review. While those of us in the Planning Department were discussing the new challenges to the region, we realized that we all had very similar backgrounds and that many of the new cultural ideas in our community were not represented. We were planning the development strategy for Ottawa-Carleton to 2021. Did we understand who we were planning for?Item Managing multicultural issues in cities(Canadian Institute of Planners, 2000) Burstein, MeyerHow we manage migration and diversity in our cities will determine our success as a nation. Challenges are mounting: from globalization, from a growing cultural gap between large and small centres, from racism, and from an urgent need to foster civic engagement and integration. Unfortunately, issues surrounding cities have been largely absent from discussions on these matters. Cities have implicated themselves in access and equity remedies, but transport, zoning, and local economic development functions are only now starting to recognize and respond to growing diversity. Greater municipal involvement and better coordination are essential if we are to act constructively.
