PhD Thesis by Anne Corlin

The PhD thesis is rooted in the growing challenges posed by segregation in the modern city. This issue is related to the increased economic disparities, but also to a heightened intolerance towards ethnic minorities, which makes segregated cities a serious social problem.The subject matter of this thesis is ‘public urban places on the edge between deprived housing neighbourhoods and the surrounding city’ and aims to contribute with knowledge about pivotal design parameters for developing public urban places that support interaction between people and a coherent city.

THREAD - THREADs that Connect Social Innovation through Textiles

This book is intended to provide inspiration and advice to the members of any social group that would like to make a difference in the world. Social integration is a challenge for refugees and migrants in many countries where they have been welcomed. Integration is not only the responsibility of governments or the refugees themselves, it is a two-way process. Any group of people which wishes to extend a welcome to refugees in their community can do so by sharing their passion with the newcomers. THREAD shared its passion for textiles but any activity that brings people together for fun and friendship can do the same - sport, food, gardening, dance, cars – all can be catalysts for integration. This book charts the THREAD experiment by describing some of its experiences and outcomes and offers a toolkit for future projects built along the same lines.
