Framing sustainability in Milan’s urban policies
This article argues that socio-ecological transition in Italian cities unfolds less as a coherent policy trajectory and more as a fragmented and contested field of governance devices, discourses, and coalitions. Drawing on a systematic mapping of sustainability-related policy instruments adopted in Milan between 2015 and 2025, discourse analysis, and key-informant interviews, Milan is approached as a critical urban laboratory. The paper shows how…
Urban Elites and the Making of the Eventful City
This paper examines the role of private real estate and financial actors in Milan’s urban transformation through the case of the redevelopment of the former Porta Romana railway yard, site of the Olympic Village for the Milan-Cortina 2026 Winter Games. Focusing on three key actors — Coima, Covivio, and Prada Holding, gathered within the Porta Romana Fund — the paper investigates their relationships with local public institutions in a context of h…
Il lavoro da remoto alla prova dell’emergenza. Implicazioni sociali e organizzative
Remote work entered the lives of many workers since the first months of 2020, when the pandemic spread around the world. The use of remote work then gave rise to what has been defined as "a great social experiment". In the situation of general uncertainty that the pandemic has produced, the usual work regulation and negotiation processes in the workplace have been suspended and replaced by quick and one-sided decisions. The article, on the one ha…
Vivere nella comunità locale. Una questione politica nella storia della sociologia urbana italiana
The moment of the Italian Community Studies, between the 50s and the 60s, has left a deep legacy. The article explores a specific dimension of this legacy: the way of thinking about the relationship between local studies and politics/policy. Based on six sections, it firstly explores the main meanings of politics and collective action developed in classic community studies. Then, it deepens the contribution of Danilo Dolci to the reflection on th…
Stadiums as studios
In recent years, Italy has been engrossed in a large debate concerning the construction of new stadiums owned by football (soccer) clubs. Far from being a local issue, this debate is occurring in most Western countries (Trumpbour, 2007). Through the analysis of the new Juventus Stadium in Turin — the first “private and integrated” stadium in Italy — we will shed light on the role of media in the decision to build new stadiums and in their spatial…
Globalisation, stadiums and the consumerist city
Contemporary football is crossed by relevant changes that may be interpreted as outcomes of the globalisation process. The transnational dimension of football, its financialisation, and the normalisation of the supporters’ practices appear as some of the most important outcomes of this process. In this paper, based on the case study of the new Juventus Stadium in Turin, we will explore the transformation of football as a consequence of a specific…
Explaining How Political Culture Changes
Political cultures have usually been studied as static and perhaps monolithic. If any attention has been dedicated to how political cultures change it has been devoted to exogenous factors. In recent years, however, some authors have advocated exploring the role of endogenous factors. In this article, we reflect on the advantages of a comprehensive approach to explaining how political cultures change, embracing endogenous and exogenous factors. W…
