A cura di Giordana Ferri, FHS
The housing issue occurs in all Italian cities where it takes on various facets. Some problems are specific to certain urban realities, such as student housing in university towns, which is relevant both in itself and for the distortions produced on the local real estate market, especially when the university town is also a tourist town. Other facets are found almost everywhere. These include the inadequacy of an outdated housing stock that is inadequate to meet the social and health needs of its residents, which have gradually changed over time, the serious shortage of public housing stock and its – often unsatisfactory – conditions of maintenance and management, the share of demand for affordable housing in relation to household income that remains unsatisfied, the presence of social and health services related to housing, and so on.
One metropolitan reality in which the housing issue arises strongly is that of Milan. However, one of Milan’s peculiarities is that it possesses, within its economic and social fabric, a plurality of third-sector subjects that interact with the public and private sectors to counter emerging critical issues, drawing up proposals and implementing experiments that have not only helped to alleviate, at least in part, critical issues, but have often given rise to intervention models that have spread to other urban contexts.
Hence the usefulness of creating a national focus on Milan: not only to learn more, directly from the protagonists, about how the housing issue in Milan is configured today, but also to acquire up-to-date evaluations on the intervention models experimented to date in the Lombard capital and to be informed about their possible evolutionary trajectories.
