Multiculturalism is one of many efforts to get us thinking more consciously about what gets on the radar screen and what does not get on the radar screen when it comes to policy and planning. In planning, for instance, new foci include relational thinking that links walkabilty and health, cultural heritage and economic development, green infrastructure and sustainable development, gender and the design of public spaces.
Cultural diversity is an especially important dimension for policy-makers and planners to take into account while trying to improve communities. We are just now getting serious about what this means in theory and practice.
