ABSTRACT As a response to the erosion of North Macedonia’s confidence in the international domain and following the decay of its capital city, a grandiose and costly urban project called ‘Skopje 2014’ was initiated to transform public spaces utilizing country’s glorious past. This model for governing diversity based on ethnocratic homogenization led to further tensions among ethnic groups and reduced the role of citizens as spectators of how public spaces and the city are created. A transformative, deliberative planning culture is needed – one that recognizes the inconsistencies in the ethnic histories and imaginaries and allows change as an inevitable part of our identities.

在社会零散的城市环境中管理多样性：“斯科普里2014”和公共空间的族裔同质化

摘要为应对北马其顿在国际领域的信心受到侵蚀，并随着首都马其顿的衰落，发起了一项名为“斯科普里2014”的宏伟而昂贵的城市项目，以利用该国的辉煌过去改造公共场所。这种基于种族主义同质化的多样性治理模式导致族裔群体之间进一步紧张，并降低了公民作为公共空间和城市创建方式的旁观者的作用。需要一种变革性的，审慎的计划文化，这种计划文化必须承认种族历史和想象中的矛盾之处，并允许改变成为我们身份的必然组成部分。
