Minerva Partner Jon Calame is co-author of Divided Cities: Belfast, Beirut, Jerusalem, Mostar and Nicosia, a book in the "Cities of the 21st Century" series from the University of Pennsylvania Press published in March 2009.
This book identifies patterns of urban partition and draws on extensive on-site interviews with urban design professionals to assess the effectiveness of their response. Ethnic partition is critiqued as a weak strategy in the face of conflict, unrest, and institutional discrimination. New photos and maps never previously published are included. Brief description and table of contents here. For more information or advance copies of the book for review, please contact Jon Calame.
