The space of rules and rules of space
This article investigates the role of the spatial dimension in the formulation of pandemic rules in Italy, with a specific focus on the municipal ordinances enacted in Milan. The study conducts a critical review of multidisciplinary literature, which often marginalises the significance of spatial dynamics in the development of (pandemic) regulatory frameworks, relegating “space” to a peripheral rather than central concern. This research proposes …
Towards new geographies of cohesion in a context of growing inequalities
This contribution critically examines the possible interface between territorial cohesion and social innovation by investigating how two local social innovation initiatives in the Milan metropolitan area have tried to tackle existing territorial inequalities. The paper draws on the outcomes of the Horizon 2020 Project ‘COHSMO―Inequality, Urbanization and Territorial Cohesion: developing the European social model of economic growth and democratic …
Planning and meta-planning to cope with disruptive events
The Covid-19 pandemic has been analysed and discussed from many disciplinary perspectives. An aspect that still needs critical exploration is the role—that is, the modes and forms—of regulatory interventions during the pandemic. It is interesting to note in this regard that, in many studies, regulatory measures are labelled “non-pharmaceutical interventions”, as if they do not have any specificity on their own and only represent a theoretically r…

Paesaggi educativi e dinamiche di segregazione scolastica. Un'interpretazione delle relazioni tra scuola e territorio
L'articolo propone di esplorare le potenzialità euristiche del concetto di paesaggio educativo. A partire da una lettura intrecciata di queste variabili, e da alcune evi-denze empiriche sulle città di Milano, Barcellona e Oslo , l'articolo riflette critica-mente su come questo concetto possa essere utile per affrontare le crescenti dise-guaglianze educative e i fenomeni di segregazione di studenti svantaggiati
Shared Spaces or Shelters for Precarious Workers? Coworking Spaces in Italy
This paper critically discusses the relationship between new workspaces, such as Coworking Spaces (CSs), professionals using such spaces, and the related work patterns, looking at the Italian context in particular. There appears to be a mismatch between the educational level of such workers, their expertise and expected professional status on the one hand, and their reality in terms of employment precariousness and low income, on the other. It ap…
In Search of Territorial Cohesion
Territorial cohesion has figured in the lexicon of the European Union for some years. However, there has never been a clear definition of the notion, not even after its inclusion in the Lisbon Treaty. Moreover, within the European Union Cohesion Reports and, more generally, within European Union documents, along with the other two dimensions of cohesion (economic and social) it has been treated separately without any serious attempts to reconcile…

School segregation in contemporary cities
Social and social-spatial inequality are on the rise in the Global North. This has resulted in increasing segmentation between population groups with different social and ethnic backgrounds, and in differentiated access to cultural and material assets. With these changes, the relation between segregation in the educational sphere and segregation in the residential sphere has become crucial for understanding social reproduction and intergeneration…
Epistemological critiques to the technocratic planning model
During the 1960s, different critical voices emerged with regard to the main gaps of technocratic planning (what Jacobs calls ‘modern, orthodox city planning’), voices highlighting the oversimplifying epistemological approaches that had been characterising planning in the first half of the twentieth century. Jane Jacobs’ thought has been of paramount importance in influencing planning and urban discourses worldwide, but she has not been isolated: …
Co-working Spaces in Milan
The present paper investigates the location patterns and the effects co-working spaces generate on the urban context, issues that have been neglected by the existing literature. The focus is on Milan, the core of the Italian knowledge-based, creative, digital, and sharing economy, and the city hosting the largest number of co-working spaces in Italy. The paper addresses three main questions: (1) Where are the main locations of co-working spaces i…
Using a call for proposals as a tool of government
Recent years have seen an increasing awareness of how policies to improve quality of life need to build on local initiative and engagement. In developing the strategic plan Città di Città, the government of the Milan Province sought to achieve this end by the use of an open call for proposals and active network-building. But what challenges need to be faced if such a strategy is chosen
