Creating Inclusive Cities: Territorial Rituals and Belonging explores urban inclusion through the lens of territorial rituals. It challenges traditional approaches to urban integration by exploring how cities can foster inclusion through ritualised celebrations and events. Through detailed comparative analysis of urban rituals across Geneva, Montreal and Turin, the book demonstrates how territorial rituals serve as powerful tools for creating belonging and social cohesion in increasingly diverse urban environments. Chapters reveal how successful urban rituals transform urban spaces into sites of meaningful connection and the critical role they play in building community bonds, showcasing the effectiveness of civil society-led initiatives in creating inclusive urban spaces. This book is essential for urban planners, academics and postgraduate students in urban studies, planning, sociology and anthropology, who seek to build more inclusive and vibrant cities in an era of increasing mobility and diversity.The Open Access version of this book, available at http://www.taylorfrancis.com, has been made available under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives (CC BY-NC-ND) 4.0 license.

This book addresses the practice of social innovation, which is currently very much in the public eye. However, despite the valuable research conducted over the past years, the systematic analysis of social innovation is still contested and incomplete.
