Framing the Family-House Stock in Contemporary Italy. Construction, Situations, Evolution Patterns

Family houses are the principal material of the dispersed settlements that have marked the Italian landscape since the 1970s. The presentation provides an overview on the main generative processes that shaped the existing stock of family houses according to the social and economic contexts in which it grew; a focus on the recurring “conditions” in which we found such stock today; an assessment of the demographic and social evolutions that are affecting family houses and that could inspire some policy considerations.
