Abstract

Post-war deindustrialisation, decentralisation and suburbanisation has resulted in the creation of 'wild' inner-city landscapes recalling the American Frontiers to be civilised by brave pioneers and settlers. After the great immigration waves of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries ended, cities changed from a population historically recognised as homogeneous to one of far greater ethnic and social diversity. Bringing new energy and vitality, these 'pioneers' are now engaged in re-settlement of the New American Frontier. Although faced with limited resources, they are exhibiting ingenuity and resolve to shape the urban landscape into patterns that absorb, reflect and celebrate their diverse identities.
