Negotiating an Asiatown in Berlin: Ethnic diversity in urban planning
AbstractCities are increasingly affected by migration which raises new questions for urban development and planning. In the paper at hand, this issue is addressed from two perspectives: First, we stress the high social, representative as well as economic potential of ethnic economies and the emerging neighborhoods, showing that they serve migrant communities as well as urban development. Second, we bring in perspectives from the ‘planning for diversity’ and ‘multicultural planning’ discourses into the German debate. This paper takes the planning conflict on the development of the Dong Xuan Center (DXC), Germany's largest Vietnamese-run trade center, into an Asiatown as empirical basis. It examines legal implications for the German context and therewith contributes to the ‘planning for diversity’ discourse from a non-multicultural setting.
HighlightsGerman urban planning law and administrative procedures are insufficiently prepared for culturally sensitive urban development.The absence of a national policy on diversity prevents planning from incorporating diversity, pluralism or equity.Within German metropolitan governance, a (re)thinking of migration and ethnic economies as assets for urban development can be observed.A critical examination of all involved interests by municipal administrations and planning divisions may serve the new multicultural realities within European metropolises.
