Social diversity is an increasingly important issue in the global discourse on cities and regions today – a fashionable buzzword referring to the specificity of urban socio-economic structures. Heterogeneity that creates ‘cities with otherness’ accompanies such phenomena as international migration, spatial mobility, post-colonialism, population aging, the importance of the phenomenon of meritocracy, the occurrence and recognition of differentiation of individual and group identities, individualization as a feature of the so-called ‘liquid modernity’ described by Z. Bauman.
