Sguardi oltre le retoriche: Politiche e progetti per la casa a Milano = Glances beyond the rhetoric: Policies and plans for housing in Milan

In the 1990s and 2000s, the rise (and the real influence) of mass home ownership rhetoric was wound up with the massive impacts that privatisation and government reorganisation processes had in the field of housing policies. On the one hand, with the generalisation of negotiation as a key principle in the promotion and governance of urban change, the supply of housing for populations groups considered 'excluded from the market' was relegated to old and new players in the social economy and to their role in contracted schemes of urban change. On the other hand, with the emergence and spread of social mixité rhetoric, new urban development was accompanied by a new emphasis on the broader urban and social aspects of urban development for residential use.
