Abstract

This research focuses on how to improve levels of inclusivity through spatial design in hyper-diverse and socio-spatial segregated neighbourhoods in order to improve the liveability in urban areas and is conducted in the neighbourhood Tarwewijk in Rotterdam-Zuid. The research has according to theory identified three design values which became key pillars of this thesis and has derived design strategies and design principles from that which would contribute to social cohesion in an urban area. The final outcome of this thesis is a public space design proposal for Tarwewijk that has integrated these design principles to enhance levels of social cohesion and inclusivity within the neighbourhood.
