This book sets out to explore the political and social potential of intercultural policy for cities by bringing together advances in the areas of urban planning and intercultural theory. In recent years, demographic changes in cities in many parts of the world have led to increasing concerns about inter-ethnic tensions, social inequality, and racial discrimination. By virtue of their intermediate status—neither national nor regional, at the same time global and local—cities are in a particularly good position to formulate policy frameworks that will contribute to the well-being of all citizens, regardless of their origins. Certain cities have made significant advances in this domain, but until now very little work has been done to understand the underlying principles and processes behind the creation of intercultural policies and programs. The overall goal of this volume is to facilitate conversations between researchers and practitioners in their efforts to make cities more inclusive by leveraging recent advances in the field of intercultural policy and practice, but it is also intended to generate knowledge about the conditions, obstacles and strategies that make intercultural cities part of a common future. This interdisciplinary collection will be of great interest to scholars and policy makers including in areas of urban studies, public policy, anthropology, sociology, globalization and the wider social sciences.

"Comment la ville contemporaine nourrit-elle l'inclusion la plus large de ses habitants dans un monde où la mobilité ne cesse de s'accroître, ou des populations migrantes prennent aussi leur place, un monde où l'individualisation du lien social modifie les anciennes formes de sociabilité et d'urbanité? Comment se dynamise-t-elle en conjuguant les différences sociales et culturelles, la disparité des générations tout en favorisant le civisme? Comment construire des liens pour accueillir les nouveaux venus. Comment recréer de l'être ensemble en ces temps liquides où, de surcroît, l'individualisation du lien social ne cesse de s'accentuer. Tel est l'objet de cet ouvrage, co-écrit par un trio de socio-anthropologues chevronnés, qui s'attache à mieux comprendre les ritualités urbaines dans leur dimension de rassemblement social, d'instauration d'une mémoire, d'une sociabilité heureuse. Si nous sommes aujourd'hui de moins en moins ensemble et de plus côte à côte, et souvent en rivalité, les auteurs nous montrent les solutions que met en place la cité pour rassembler les individus et lutter contre les inégalités sociales et spatiales et contre la fragmentation et les tensions sociales entre groupes. Il s'agit en fait de faire tenir ensemble des communautés souvent bien différentes et d'assurer aux nouveaux arrivants leur place au sein de l'ensemble. La mobilité est l'ambiance de la ville, mais pour y trouver sa place, il faut l'aimer, la comprendre. Les rites d'inclusion territoriale participent à l'élaboration de ce sentiment d'appartenance en brassant les populations sous un jour propice."

Notre thèse principale est que les rituels peuvent favoriser l'inclusion si l'on met l'accent sur leur communalité, leur aspect transformateur et leur convivialité, qui est nécessaire pour que ces derniers se reproduisent. Pour démontrer cette thèse, nous avons analysé et comparé huit rituels urbains (à Genève, à Montréal et à Turin). Le livre s'achève sur des recommandations aux responsables des politiques urbaines.
