Abstract
There seems to be a tendency in urban development towards enhancing the
attractiveness of city spaces. The common critique of this tendency is that it increases
the uniformity of city spaces that are meant to be attractive. This negative
evaluation of uniform cities has inspired interventions that aim to increase
differences between city centres. However, these interventions in the urban
environment also tend to increase uniformity, because they have to meet the
expectations of the public.
This research project aims to generate insight in the development of city spaces
towards diversity or uniformity, the powers of such urban spaces and the role of
inner city redevelopment projects in this development, in order to enable
stakeholders to measure the consequences of such interventions in the urban
environment.
