Living with diversity in Jane Finch

In the past decades, diversity has become a popular catchphrase in theoretical, policy and public discourses in Canadian cities. This study seeks to add to our understanding of urban diversity, as perceived and experienced by those who inhabit, frequent and govern urban areas. The study further makes use of a variety of qualitative and participatory techniques (i.e. qualitative interviews, roundtable talks, participant observations, and focus groups) to gather rigorous empirical data on living with and managing diversity in an inner-suburban neighbourhood of Toronto, namely Jane‑Finch.
