Abstract
Because architects and planners create places with boundaries which contain, and sometimes cause, social problems, we bear a high degree of responsibility for the products of our design activity. Through an understanding of diversity and need levels of residents, it is possible to improve the physical environment of the residents in a defined community. This paper pursues this construct as it relates to the Regents Canal area of Hackney Borough, a distinct low income multicultural area in Greater London, England. The paper goes on to suggest a multicultural community college as an instrument for improving the social and environmental situation of the Regents Canal area.
