Sharing Space in Divided Cities:
Why everyday activities and mixing in urban spaces matter
“People in divided cities often claim that they never mix;
nonetheless, Conflict in Cities (CinC) has found that in
the course of daily life, space is often shared more than
residents realise. Spaces examined by the project show
social relations that we may otherwise not be aware of or
think about very much. These create room for
unexpected or surprising encounters, and illustrate both
the potential and challenges of having a less segregated
city”. Centre for Urban Conflicts Research, University of Cambridge
