摘要

En 中文
There is a long literature extolling the virtues of diversity for both the civility and economic performance of nations and cities. On the most basic level, diversity helps nations and cities attract the wide range of creative talent that drives innovation and economic growth. Yet similarly, there is a large amount of literature on the sorting and segregation of different types of people into distinct communities. This in turn undermines the very mixing of people and groups required for economic prosperity to flourish. This essay looks at the conundrum between diversity and segregation. It argues that both are increasingly salient, interdependent, and interconnected features of large, advanced cities or metropolitan areas. This diversity-segregation conundrum is increasingly a core feature of our social and economic landscape. It reviews several recent studies that highlight this problem, as well as some of my own very recent empirical findings on the issue. Highlights The connection between diversity, innovation, and the growth of cities dates back to the work of Jane Jacobs. Close bonding ties create barriers to entry for new groups. Looser bridging ties help knit different groups together. The diversity-segregation conundrum appears to be hard-wired into the emerging social and economic geography of the knowledge economy.
