description Contemporary societies are increasingly embossed with migration. Multi-cultural and multi-ethnic communities often live side by side with host communities in cities all over the world. Significant efforts have been made to embrace the different challenges occurring at different levels, among which are the social structure and layout of such cities; however, challenges still prevail, and continue to showcase socially fragmented patches with significant relevance to everyday life. In this research, a qualitative approach will be adopted to investigate the qualities of life that hinder sound integration, and, therewith, call for new types of planning to overcome such challenges, such as fluid planning. Celebrating identities through integrating new ethnic economies in different settings has resulted in a stepping stone towards integrated solutions, leading to a more coherent and integrated community.
