Stranieri a San Siro : l'abitare tra marginalità e riscossa

The research deals with the issue of housing poverty for the foreign population in the pub-lic housing district of San Siro, in Milan, that makes the dominant part of the total population. The current social and economic structure of the place has been built, over time, on the basis of an inseparable link with the main historical and political events, leading to the disruptive and profound transformations of recent decades. The survey shows how, among the main causes of the increase in inequality, exclusion and conflict at San Siro, the total absence of adequate social policies of raising awareness and integration that, over the years, could have accompa-nied the rapid transformations of the neighborhood, played a decisive role.
