L’urbanistica alla prova con la sanità di prossimità. Le Case di Comunità a Milano

Proximity healthcare represents the first gateway to a territorially distributed welfare. For about 15 years, the Italian health system has been pursuing this vision developing Community Health Centers as a reference point for responding to the population’s social and health needs. Disparities can be seen on a national scale in the implementation of community healthcare, and while additional funding of National Recovery and Resilience Plan is coming in, on a local scale the difficulties in locating facilities emerge. The study conducted on Milan offers both an initial urban assessment of the location of the 24 planned facilities to be built by 2026 and some considerations on the suitability of the neighbourhoods to host further Community Health Centers.
