A secure sense of place

Abstract:
Chapter 5 explains the theory of what makes a city a city of equals in detail, interweaving observations and results from the interviews and the previous chapters. Four core values of the city of equals are defined, based on reflection on the interviews and the literature: accessibility to the city’s services is not constituted by the market; a sense of a meaningful life; diversity and social mixing; non-deferential inclusion (that is, being included without having to defer). Finally, a general conception of a city of equals, deriving from the core values, is put forward: a city of equals is a city in which all of its residents feel that they are part of the city’s story, and enjoy a secure functioning of having a sense of place.
