Résumé en anglais

Under cultural globalization, cultural pluralism prevails in post-industrial cities worldwide. Cultural pluralism has brought about diasporic cultural landscapes which are distinct from conventional cultural landscapes defined by UNESCO. Based on a literature review and visual observations of diasporic cultural landscapes in Italy and Germany, this research seeks to explore the roles that diasporic cultural landscapes play in a multicultural society. To begin with, it tentatively extends the connotation of cultural landscapes by perceiving them under the macro social environment with a perspective of cultural pluralism. Then, the research analyzes the driving forces of cultural landscape diaspora, focusing on endogenous and exogenous forces. Finally, it looks into the roles of diasporic cultural landscapes in multicultural community building. It is found that diasporic cultural landscapes play an important role in building up a multicultural community characterized by harmonious coexistence in terms of social relationship consolidation, cultural experience diversification and place-making, as well as landscape quality upgrading and generation of positive externalities that are shared among all cultural groups.
