Abstract

Starting from a case study paper explores new critical issues in contemporary urban neighborhoods in transition, with whom public actors are dealing with: ageing population and ageing private residential buildings, contested multiethnic migration, vacant shops and shrinking economy. The case study is Crocetta, a neighborhood in Cinisello Balsamo, a Municipality close to Milan, in Italy. It is important to point out that Crocetta isn’t a public housing context. Crocetta is a neighborhood that has been built since the Sixties of the last century to provide accommodation to Milanese professional middle class, today it detects the presence of fifty-four ethnic groups with a presence of migrants that is approximately 45% of the population, a substantial deterioration of the private residential buildings, and the ageing of the first Italian inhabitants. By the last decade of the twentieth century, Crocetta was confronting a host of new challenges : the loss of regional competitiveness, changing demographics of neighborhood, and multiethnic dynamics, mobility migrations with an high turnover, physical decline of buildings.
