Abstract
The contemporary metropolis is characterised by an increasing diversity of its population, which is called "super-diversity" or "hyperdiversity" in the urban discourse. This epistemological realignment breaks new ground away from the classic Chicago School. Associated with this "diversification of diversity" (Vertovec, 2007:1025) is a fragmentation of the different social and ethnic groups in the city. However, the concept of super-diversity camouflages a separateness of these groups that is called newguineaisation in this paper. With that said, this new urban reality claims for empirical investigations of the societal implication of this phenomenon especially with regard to social cohesion in contemporary cities.
