International Conference
PERIFERIE DELLE CITTÀ EUROPEE
Social Institutions, Policies and Territories
6-7 June 2019
Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore Largo A. Gemelli, 1 – Milano
The recent economic and social crisis has put the spotlight back on an “urban issue” that first emerged at the end of the nineteenth century in European cities experiencing rapid population growth and increasing urban sprawl. Quality of life in peripheral working-class neighborhoods and social inclusion processes have, once again, become a priority of the urban agenda. The Archivio per la storia del movimento sociale cattolico in Italia and the Dipartimento di Storia dell’economia, della società e di Scienze del territorio, both dedicated to Mario Romani, are organising a conference that will allow researchers to share their experiences on the changes underway in living conditions in urban peripheries.
The Archive for the history of the Catholic social movement in Italy and the Department of History of Economics, Society and Territorial Sciences, both dedicated to Mario Romani, organize a conference on the experiences of Italian and European cities with respect to the transformations of living in suburbs. The interdisciplinary analysis and a round table on current affairs will deal with policies suitable for these territories and the role of social forces and association networks. The latter offer strategic contributions for the generation of new development models.
