“…I met Abigail, a homeowner, at a festival organised by a local business coalition. 'I go to a lot of things that are advertised', she told me, indicating the role of event marketing in luring wealthier residents into public spaces in gentrifying cities (e.g., Berglund et al 2022). Among the events Abigail regularly attended included outdoor concerts that have been organized as part of Downtown Oshawa's rebranding as a cultural district.…”

Social mix policies aim to integrate residents living in diverse forms of housing. While numerous studies have showcased the limitations of social mix in achieving this objective, explanations for this tendency remain incomplete. Accordingly, this qualitative case study adopts insights from the sociology of everyday life and interaction ritual theory to elaborate on academic understandings of (non)-interaction between disparate groups in mixed housing communities. It draws primarily from observational fieldwork and semi-structured interview data gathered in the public spaces of a transitioning mid-sized city in Ontario, Canada. The findings report how everyday encounters among and between the urban poor and wealthier residents (re)produce patterns of group solidarity and conflict. The continued application of micro-sociological perspectives to housing mix research can chronicle and perhaps mend the gaps between government housing policy objectives and the experiences of residents living within relevant legislative jurisdictions.

This study systematically evaluates ten historical cultural symbols in the brand image design of Xuzhou City based on Grey System Theory and Fuzzy Evaluation Method, revealing their significance and distinctions within city branding. First, Grey System Theory is applied to rank these symbols, establishing their prioritization in the brand design process. Subsequently, Fuzzy Evaluation Method is employed to perform a comprehensive analysis of each symbol across five dimensions: visual appeal, cultural heritage, brand recognizability, public acceptance, and sustainability. The Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) is used to set weights for each dimension, ensuring a scientific and reasonable evaluation. Results indicate that Xuzhou’s ancient city wall and the culture of Xiang Yu excel in visual appeal and sustainability, while symbols like Pengzu culture show relatively lower public acceptance. Targeted recommendations are proposed based on these findings. This study provides a quantitative basis for Xuzhou’s city brand design and suggests a greater emphasis on the sustainability and adaptability of cultural symbols in future city branding efforts.
