Politiche abitative e mix sociale: quale posta in gioco per le comunità?
No full textUna breve riflessione sull’utilizzo del mix socio-abitativo come strumento di costruzione di comunità socialmente eterogenee. Ripercorrendo gli sviluppi storici, gli assunti teorici e le pratiche, l’articolo problematizza l’implementazione del mix sociale nella società contemporanea, delineando nuove idee di comunità nelle recenti politiche abitativ
The Construction of Resourceful Tenants in Collaborative Housing for Young People in Milan
No full textIn Western European countries, approaches to social housing allocation have mainly been shaped by notions of need and choice. In the wake of a renewed interest in collective housing forms, the current social housing landscape features examples of self-regulated approaches, reflecting providers’ increased autonomy in creating their allocation criteria. Drawing on a collaborative housing program for young people in Milan as a case study, this paper presents a novel allocation system, resource-based, that combines objective and subjective eligibility requirements to construct the “resourceful tenant” identity. By examining the selection process of aspiring resourceful tenants, this paper discusses the new layers of selectivity and the ambiguities of resource-based allocation, reflecting on the implications for inclusion and exclusion of young people in urban housing markets increasingly under pressure
‘The Social Managers Are Back in Town’: the Challenges of Housing Management in a Residualised Public Housing Sector
No full textThe residualisation of social housing sectors requires housing managers to intensify social management activities aimed at promoting tenants’ wellbeing and social cohesion. This paper discusses the implementation of such activities in the Italian public housing sector. It juxtaposes the vision conceptualised at the policy level with the daily activities of housing managers in practice on the ground and highlights the gaps between policy goals and realities of tenants’ involvement. While social management activities are expected to contribute to breaking the vicious circle of financial, technical, and social decline that has long affected public housing estates, the short timeframe of the planned interventions raises the question of the potential for structural change
Edilizia sociale e nuovi modelli di gestione inclusiva: selettività e responsabilizzazione
No full textThis paper presents an innovative approach to social housing management in the Dutch social housing sector. This approach is based on a novel idea of social mix which brings to-gether young Dutch and asylum seekers who manage all housing-related services by them-selves. This paper presents and discusses limits and potential of this approach for social in-clusion in the context of broader shifts in the social housing sphere and related challenges for social housing organisations and tenants
Case vuote e abbandonate: prospettive di valorizzazione e riuso
No full textQuesto contributo esplora il tema delle abitazioni inutilizzate da una prospettiva italiana.
La distinzione concettuale tra abitazioni vuote e abitazioni abbandonate, di proprietà
pubblica o privata, viene utilizzata per inquadrare l’origine e lo sviluppo di questo fenomeno
in contesti urbani e rurali. L’inutilizzo delle case può essere dovuto a diverse dinamiche
che riguardano le disuguaglianze territoriali, l’emigrazione e lo spopolamento delle
aree rurali, la presenza di seconde case in località turistiche e strategie di investimento
buy-to-rent anche in prospettiva di trasferimento intergenerazionale della ricchezza abitativa.
Riflettendo sullo stato di conservazione delle abitazioni, sull’esposizione ai rischi di
calamità naturali e di altre problematiche legate alle condizioni abitative, come la povertà
energetica, questo contributo mette in evidenza il ruolo chiave che il recupero delle abitazioni
inutilizzate può svolgere nel percorso verso la transizione ecologica, nelle agende di
sviluppo territoriale delle aree rurali marginali, nonché nell’affrontare la carenza di alloggi
sociali ed accessibili nelle aree urbane ad alta densità abitativa. Infine, viene presentato
come caso di studio un innovativo programma di sviluppo territoriale integrato a partire
dalla riabilitazione di abitazioni abbandonate in ambito rurale (progetto case a un euro)
Analyzing the Impact of Public Housing Privatization on Immigrant Micro-Segregation in Milan
No full textIn several Western European countries, a significant share of social rental housing stock has been sold since the 1980s as part of government policies aimed at promoting homeownership societies. Research has shown that tenure conversion has contributed to increasing socio-spatial segregation of lower-income groups, with diverging spatial patterns of homeownership among immigrants. This paper examines the impact of recent public housing privatization schemes in Milan in relation to micro-segregation and peripheralization processes of foreign populations, which represent distinctive features of immigrant residential distribution in this city. By employing name analysis, an unconventional approach in segregation studies, I inferred the geographical origins of homebuyers and mapped their distribution across the city. The findings reveal divergent purchasing behaviors, whereby Italians predominantly acquire properties in semi-central areas currently undergoing urban regeneration. In contrast, immigrants tend to concentrate their acquisitions in peripheral post-war public housing neighborhoods or in areas predominantly inhabited by residents with similar geographical origins. This paper contributes to the existing literature on ethnic residential segregation in Southern European cities by shedding light on the underexplored role of public housing privatization policies in shaping specific residential patterns and housing outcomes among different groups
Il mix sociale nelle politiche di rigenerazione urbana dei grandi complessi residenziali a Milano
No full textL'articolo intende confrontare l'Italia con altri Paesi Europei (quali Francia, Olanda e Gran Bretagna) sulle politiche di mix sociale, inteso principalmente come prossimità di tipologie miste di alloggi. L'articolo evidenzia che in Lombardia, e soprattutto a Milano, la sola prossimità residenziale non favorisce la coesione sociale e che l'intervento pubblico appare talvolta ancora poco chiaro, troppo debole e fragile. Tuttavia, alcune esperienze nei complessi di edilizia sociale basati sull'empowerment della comunità locale possono innescare processi di innovazione sociale in questo ambito
