Rethinking Urban Parks: Public Space and Cultural Diversity By Setha M. Low, Dana Taplin, Suzanne Scheld

1) The moral right to one’s culture, including one’s cultural heritage and cultural identity;

2) The ecological advantage of different orientations and adaptations to limited environmental resources;

3) A form of cultural resistance to political and economic domination by elites and power asymmetries and a way to counteract relations of dependency;

4) The aesthetic sense and pleasurable experience of different worldviews, ways of thinking, and of other cultures in their own right;

5) The possibility of confrontation between cultures that generate new cultural processes;

6) A source of creativity; and

7) A fund of tested knowledge about way of going about things.
