About | 7 About Already since the 1970s, internationally, the regeneration of large- scale modernist social housing estates has been on the research and policy agenda. What more can we say about this theme, after almost 50 years of regeneration practices? Although social and spatial problems in large-scale social estates are inextricably linked, in the past decades, they have often been tackled independently from one another. Throughout Europe, various spatial policies have been deployed to regenerate estates. The demolition of high- rise buildings, the introduction of new typologies as part of a social mix rationale, spatial connections of public spaces with surroundings and the inclusion of social and commercial facilities are well-known examples of spatial policies. Participation programs associated to these interventions have been mainly based on mere information or consultation processes, putting local actors and habitants in a passive role instead of considering them as active agents. Recently, the social innovation and collective empowerment perspective is gaining ground in community work in Europe. Social organizations, self-organized collectives and grassroots movements increasingly deploy collective strategies to overcome socially exclusive conditions, as a complement to state-organized forms of governance. As a result participatory forms of governance in urban policy involving third sector-organizations are on the rise. In the UK, France and regions such as Brussels, associations and social housing organizations are encouraged to support social cohesion projects, social entrepreneurship and tenant boards. Such local organizations promote social mobility from within and more positive representations of the neighborhood. However, they often lack the spatial knowledge and means to impact top-down planning processes that shape the social estates. The SoHoLab project therefore aims to develop an integrated approach towards the regeneration of large-scale social housing estates in Europe. Through a Living Lab approach, the project wants to address (1) the socially innovative potential of involving social housing residents in the regeneration of their housing environment, (2) embedded and/or ethnographic research as a tool to gather in-depth knowledge of local living conditions and to contribute to the construction of a counterhegemonic image of the neighbourhoods considered and (3) the capacity of collaborative research and planning, bonding and bridging efforts to unite residents, neighbourhood inhabitants, public housing organizations, spatial practitioners and cultural, educational and social organizations around the subject of regeneration. This approach is developed, tested and refined on the basis of a retrospective evaluation of existing projects in Paris; of action research in an ongoing LivingLab experience in Milan; and new LivingLabs in Brussels and Paris. The regeneration of large-scale social housing estates has been an important policy topic in Paris, which deals with a long history of conflicts in and on housing estates. The 3 cases selected for a retrospective analysis (Saint Martin in Longjumeau; La Fosse in Fresnes; Jean Bouin in Taverny) have high policy relevance, as they are rare past examples of collaborative approaches in Paris focusing on the sustainable redesign of public space in social estates. The Milan case builds on the experiences of a local observatory established by PoliMi in 2013 in the San Siro neighbourhood. By opening up a space in the neighbourhood, PoliMi has put in place an action-research project focused on the construction of alternative representations of the neighbourhood and on the promotion of local actions aimed at fostering local change. The focal area of the Brussels case is Peterbos, a large social estate at the fringes of the region, equally characterized by important social-spatial challenges. The diversity of cases results in a comparative and mutually beneficial approach: the retrospective analysis of the Paris cases offers important input to guide the consolidation path of the ongoing Italian experience and both give fruitful elements for developing and valorising such practices in Brussels. This first SoHolab investigation on the spatial, territorial, institutional and planning dimensions of the regeneration of large-scale social estates in Paris, Milan and Brussels highlights the rise of ‘extraordinary’ and ‘integrated’ programs through temporal and territorially determined planning instruments, such as city and neighbourhood contracts. These contracts between different policy levels couple spatial improvements with social-political and -economic aims such as improving social cohesion and professional insertion. However, the short-term injections as part of these programs often fail to make up for structural deficits, including a lack of civil participation, public disinvestment and serious shortcomings in the management and maintenance in these areas. In addition, these ‘extraordinary’ measures are not enough attuned to ‘ordinary’ regeneration measures. We conclude it is this lacuna, which should be addressed within the ongoing and new LivingLabs within this research project.

It does this by providing an overview of the architecture and planning history of social housing within the 3 city regions and by positioning the production of large-scale social estates within this framework. Special attention is given to the last 15 years and the different measures developed for tenant participation and housing regeneration, be it informed by institutional policies, inhabitants initiatives or third sector promoted interventions. Indeed, we try to consider all types of social and spatial interventions that impact on these sites and its inhabitants. By zooming in on several sites within the three cities, these regeneration practices are discussed and critically evaluated in terms of social-spatial quality. Being an ongoing LivingLab experience, in the case of Milan, the main focus is on the site under study, while the analyses of the city regions of Brussels and Paris, in which new LivingLabs are set up, are informed by regeneration practices in similar estates. This report is the result of the first investigation (T2.1) of the SoHoLab research. It is written by the university partners and based on desktop research; interviews with administrators and community workers; architecture, design and planning theory; journal extracts; and local, regional and national housing policy documents. Although potentially of interest for the academic community studying one of the 3 contexts, it is especially meant to inform practitioners and policy makers working in the field of (social) housing (regeneration).

  • LE MEMORIE DI TRENNO. (Raccolte Da Silvano Acquani)
    LE MEMORIE DI TRENNO. (raccolte da Silvano Acquani). In epoca romana era consuetudine dare agli agglomerati urbani, che si insediavano lungo le grandi arterie, che congiungevano tra loro centri di importanza strategica, commerciale e/o militare, una denominazione corrispondente alla loro distanza, misurata in miglia, dal “municipium” romano, nel nostro caso Mediolanum – Milano. La distanza incisa su cippi in sasso ( le pietre miliari ) è, quindi, testimonianza, sia della presenza dei romani, che di centri abitati. Nella cintura milanese questo fatto è testimoniato da un gran numero di “miliaria”. La grande arteria consolare, che da Mediolanum conduceva ad “Augusta Taurinorum” (Torino) e che oggi corrisponde grosso modo alla via Novara, rappresentava per i traffici romani una importante via di comunicazione. Su questa strada si trovavano Trenno (Trebennius = 3° miglio); Quarto (quarta lapide = 4° miglio); Quinto romano e Settimo milanese, che forse inizialmente erano solo insediamenti militari, stazioni di posta per il cambio di cavalli. Segmento della Tabula Peutingeriana con Mediolanum. CARTE E PERGAMENE TARDOMEDIOEVALI CHE MENZIONANO TRENNO. La prima memoria storica di Trenno porta la data del 17 marzo 877 e risulta in un rogito fra Leone e Sigifrido, preti officiali della chiesa di S. Ambrogio di Milano per un possesso “ in vico et fundo Triennum” nel villaggio e territorio di Trenno. Nel marzo 1017 i decumani, ufficiali e custodi della Basilica di S. Ambrogio, cedono ad Arivaldo di Baggio un campo nel luogo e fondo di Figino, di proprietà della Basilica, ricevendo in cambio un campo nel luogo e fondo di Trenno. Nelle coerenze del campo è nominata la “ chiesa di S.

  • Essays on Real Estate Perspective Concerning the Socially Deprived
    Organizational and Economic Aspects of Housing Management in Deprived Areas Gunnar Blomé Stockholm 2011 Building and Real Estate Economics Department of Real Estate and Construction Management School of Architecture and the Built Environment Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) 1 © Gunnar Blomé 2011 Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) Building and Real Estate Economics Department of Real Estate and Construction Management School of Architecture and the Built Environment SE – 100 44 Stockholm Printed by E-print Stockholm ISBN nr: 978-91-85783-19-9 TRITA-FOB-PHD-2011:4 2 Abstract This dissertation consists of five papers with different objectives. The overall objective is to improve knowledge of effective policies regarding socially deprived large housing estates. All studies deal with the real estate context from a housing company decision-making perspective. The first two papers focus on organisational issues and the following three papers deal with economic issues related to the development of a specific housing area. The research is based on case studies which involve specific methodologies such as interviews, direct observation and collecting data from company accounts. The main message of this thesis is that landlord policies and resources spent on operation and maintenance contribute to local area development. It is also underlined that there is a need for a paradigm shift in Swedish housing, since the regulatory framework appeared to be inadequate. The experience from this study shows that many problems can be solved within the existing laws and through efficient customised property management, but landlords need more effective incentives to improve their policies further. The first two papers address issues about how to organise local management resources in large housing estates.

Despite this, many housing so- lutions for older and disabled people continue to be built on a designated basis, with physical and emotional wellbeing outcomes being both contested and mixed. After reviewing key policy relating to social care housing alongside some of the theoretical and ideological positions, this article explores the social and emotional outcomes of a diverse group of disabled people living with mental health difficulties, physical and intellectual impairments, illnesses and age-related conditions, who moved into a small, purpose-built estate of smart homes. Drawing primarily on qualitative data collected from ten- ants prior to moving and again seven months following relocation, the impact of moving into the estate on tenants’ sense of wellbeing and feelings of inclusion will be analysed and discussed in relation to efforts to build a new community.

Further, the small amount of housing which attempts to fill the middle ground does not satisfy the needs of occupants in general, and low income family urban dwellers in particular. Thus our attempts have been to investigate whether the characteristics of the highly favoured single family dwelling could be incorporated into housing forms in the middle range of densities.

  • La Riapertura E La Valorizzazione Dei Navigli Come Progetto Di Paesaggio
    La riapertura e la valorizzazione dei navigli come progetto di paesaggio e nuovo modello di vivibilità urbana per Milano ri-vista Antonello Boatti Dipartimento di Architettura e Studi Urbani, Politecnico di Milano [email protected] 01 2017 Abstract La riapertura dei navigli di Milano è una sfida ambiziosa per una città che vuole cambiare nel se- gno della vivibilità e della sostenibilità, e in particolare per Milano, che ha basato la sua storia e il suo sviluppo nel corso dei secoli come città d’acqua. La ricerca esplora tutto ciò che può essere coinvolto dalla riapertura del sistema dei navigli a Milano, dal nord-est della città dove il Marte- sana è ancora aperto, verso il centro della città, dove il canale ritrova il percorso circolare storico (la Cerchia dei Navigli) sul suo lato orientale, fino a raggiungere la Darsena recentemente riatti- vata per ricongiungersi alla fine con i navigli Pavese e Grande. Un progetto ambientale capace di garantire la navigabilità a piccole imbarcazioni, per un nuovo paesaggio e per il recupero dell’i- dentità storica di Milano, tutto proteso al futuro, ma anche pieno di poesia come raccontano le splendide immagini realizzate dall’Associazione Multiverso. Parole chiave Riapertura dei navigli a Milano, città d’acqua, un progetto ambientale, nuovo paesaggio, navi- gabilità. Abstract The reopening of the canals in Milan is an ambitious challenge for a city that wants to change the sign of liveability and sustainability, and in particular for Milan which has based its story and its development over the centuries on being a city of water.

Grant a, Janelle Derksen a and Howard Ramosb aSchool of Planning, Dalhousie University, Halifax, Canada; bDepartment of Sociology and Social Anthropology, Dalhousie University, Halifax, Canada ABSTRACT Communities often stigmatise forms of housing targeting low-income tenants. This paper examines how media sources characterise one such form: rooming houses that provide multiple, low-cost, single-room accommodations in structures with shared bathrooms and/or kitchens. By analysing newspaper and online media coverage in Halifax, Canada, we illustrate the way the media describe the rooming house as a risky structure and its occupants as dangerous and marginalised persons requiring surveillance and regulation. Media coverage can play an important role in creating the social context within which local government fashions planning and housing policy interventions to control the size, location, and operation of unpopular housing options.

  • Reassuring Placemaking
    REASSURING PLACEMAKING Daniela Petrillo – PhD candidate in Design Politecnico di Milano, Doctoral School of Design @ - [email protected] Agnese Rebaglio – PhD, Assistant Professor Politecnico di Milano, Design Department @ - [email protected] Abstract: This paper aims to stimulate a new cultural vision about “social safety”: as the lack of beauty is one of the most immediate ways of recognizing the difficult living, and experience is the most popular method of accessing beauty, the goal of this work is to “nurture people imagery” (Lambertini; 2013) through awareness, because pride in the place motivates collective actions to protect beautiful assets. According to the framework of “Design of Hospitable Cities” (Fassi, Giunta; 2009), the notion of “hospitable” merge in all of those process able to transform the city in a open, accessible and sustainable device and, together with the notion of “beauty”, they redefine the concept of wellbeing in the experience of public spaces. The multidisciplinary design research meets here the practice of placemaking. Both of these are characterized by a continuous process of redefinition because of their capability to interpret and solve the variable communities’ needs, above all in the condition of “difficult living” (Lavarra; 2007). Due to several research-action activities, this hardship was identified in San Siro and Gratosoglio, two council neighbourhoods in Milan. There will be here described the three – years - long research process where Humanities, as ethnography and environmental psychology, met the design discipline in order to operate a paradigm shift. From a “Defensible City” (Newman; 1971) to the wider concept of “Reassuring Scenario” in which a set of guidelines for institutions and local stakeholders enriches the existing programs of urban regeneration.

    PROXPRO EDIZIONE 2008 Venti serate di spettacolo e di confronto con i cittadini sui temi della Città metropolitana e delle periferie PROXPRO festeggia la sua quarta edizione e riprende il suo viaggio tra le piazze dell’area metropolitana milanese. Dal 15 luglio al 13 agosto la rassegna promossa dalla Provincia di Milano propone una nuova stagione di spettacoli estivi e di iniziative per condividere con i cittadini punti di forza, esigenze e problemi del territorio. Quarantacinque Comuni toccati, 15 mila km percorsi e oltre 100 mila presenze: questi i numeri complessivi di una manifestazione che dal 2005 ad oggi è stata premiata da un crescente successo di pubblico. L’edizione 2008 - in tutto 20 serate - sarà dedicata al tema delle periferie e della Città metropolitana, intesa come città policentrica che dà piena dignità ad ogni parte del proprio territorio, che promuove servizi, sicurezza e iniziative culturali in tutti i quartieri della metropoli e in tutti i Comuni della Provincia. “L’edizione di quest’anno – dichiara il presidente della Provincia di Milano, Filippo Penati - è dedicata alla Città metropolitana, una città che ha tanti centri e nessuna periferia, una città che non lascia soli i cittadini, una città che combatte il degrado, che vuole la sicurezza. Chiediamo ai cittadini di aiutarci a costruire questa città migliore, attraverso suggerimenti e proposte che raccoglieremo durante le serate di ProxPro”. Per la prima volta, il tour farà tappa non solo in Provincia, ma anche in 6 storici quartieri della periferia di Milano: Quarto Oggiaro, Gratosoglio, Barona, Olmi, Gorla e Quarto Cagnino. Per l’occasione, su un pullman di 15 metri pensato come spazio di dialogo con i cittadini viaggerà una video-installazione intitolata La Città metropolitana: tanti centri, nessuna periferia.

  • Project Description
    General Plan Update Section 3.0 Project Description 3.0 PROJECT DESCRIPTION 3.1 ENVIRONMENTAL LOCATION AND SETTING The City of Murrieta is located in southeastern Riverside County, and is comprised of 26,852 acres (41.96 square miles) of which 21,511 acres (33.61 square miles) is located within the City limits and 5,341 acres (8.34 square miles) is located within the City’s Sphere of Influence. Surrounding cities include Menifee to the north, Temecula to the south and east, Wildomar to the west, and unincorporated Riverside County to the north, south, and east. The San Diego County border is just south of Temecula, and Orange County lies on the other side of the Santa Ana Mountains to the west. Regional access to the City is provided by the Interstates 15 and 215; refer to Exhibit 3-1, Regional Location Map. 3.2 BACKGROUND The City’s existing General Plan (1994, 2006 amendments) consists of the following eight State mandated and optional elements: Land Use Housing Circulation Conservation and Open Space Safety Noise Air Quality Economic Development Murrieta has changed significantly since its first General Plan was adopted in 1994. Subsequent updates to the Land Use Element, Circulation, and Economic Development Elements were completed in 2006. The national recession and pause in development pressure has provided an opportunity to realign City policy to prepare for the next period of growth. In 2009, the City of Murrieta initiated a comprehensive update of the General Plan. ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT FOUNDATION FOR GENERAL PLAN UPDATE Prior to commencing the comprehensive update to the City’s General Plan, the City Council undertook a number of steps that lead to Council’s determination that economic development is the City’s number one priority and how that priority would serve as the foundation for the General Plan Update.
