The green city under scrutiny
School segregation, residential patterns, and the role of school choice in an egalitarian system. The case of Oslo, Norway
This study examines school segregation in Oslo, a city with an egalitarian education system but significant residential divides. Using individual-level data from 2008–2009 and 2018–2019, it analyses how school choice shapes segregation in primary public schools. While residential patterns remain the key driver, school choice introduces new complexities. At the urban scale, school segregation decreases due to higher levels of school choice among f…
Desegregating through densification? Potential and limitations in the case of Oslo
Urban densification is widely regarded as a key strategy for promoting sustainability and fostering social diversity in cities. While it has often been advocated as a means to enhance social mix, research indicates that, without effective housing policies and regulations, it can instead drive up rents and property prices, leading to displacement and exclusionary pressures. In Oslo, the case study of this investigation, densification has been the …
The ‘European City’ at the Crossroads
This theoretical contribution explores the use of four analytical elements to understand European cities' commonalities and distinctive characteristics in the face of the challenges presented by structural global changes and supra‐national governance mechanisms: sovereignty, policy, politics, context. The article shows how institutional and contextual opportunities mediate globalization's repercussions to varying degrees at the urban level, accor…
Social Justice in the Green City
The Covid-19 pandemic and energy, climate, and demographic crises have shown how cities are vulnerable to these impacts and how the access to green and blue spaces has become highly relevant to people. One strategy that we can observe is the strong focus on the resilience discourse, meaning implementing more green and blue spaces in urban areas, such as at previous brownfield quarters. However, social justice implications of urban greening have b…
Green Gentrification, Social Justice, and Climate Change in the Literature
While global urban development is increasingly oriented towards strategies to facilitate green urbanism, potential community trade-offs are largely overlooked. This article presents the findings of a quantitative and qualitative meta-analysis of the current literature on green gentrification (the process leading the implementation of an environmental planning agenda displacing or excluding the most economically vulnerable population) in connectio…
Potential and limitations of innovative housing solutions in planning for degrowth
Limiting socio-spatial inequalities can be considered a decisive goal for a degrowth agenda. At different territorial scales, planning and housing policies have been crucial to achieve this goal, in terms of both reaching high environmental standards and framing the social reproduction of inequality. This article focuses on the implications, in terms of socio-spatial inequalities, of innovative housing solutions oriented to a degrowth agenda. It …
Urban Policy in Times of Crisis
This article investigates how the policy capacity of urban governments in Europe to deal with the social challenges caused by the 2008-2009 financial crisis, has been strongly shaped by the institutional multi-level governance (MLG) settings in which cities were embedded. We consider the financial crisis as an important ‘stress test’ for urban policy. Urban governments faced a highly complex, trilemmatic situation: they faced not only growing soc…
Densification and School Segregation
Urban densification has become a desirable development strategy in several cities. In addition to its environmental benefits, densification is also advocated as able to promote conditions for better coexistence and social mix. Studies have shed light on the likelihood of densification affecting residential patterns, but no attention has been paid so far to understanding the possible consequences on school segregation dynamics. As residential and …
Ecological gentrification. A european perspective. Introduction
Taking contextual differences into account in green gentrification research. The case of Vienna
European Cities
European cities have attracted considerable theoretical and empirical attention since Max Weber identified in medieval occidental cities the requisite conditions for the development of capitalism. Scholars from different disciplines have attempted to highlight their distinctive characteristics and trace their development and changing nature. In order to describe the commonalities and distinctive characteristics of European cities, this entry is d…
Small Is Beautiful? Emerging Organizational Strategies among Italian Professionals
The traditional debate about professional groups has mainly focused on conflicts between professions and organizations, reinforcing dualisms and dichotomies. Few scholars have investigated the extent to which professionalism and organizations are intertwined while focusing on the case of professionals integrated into large organizations, and even less attention has been paid to emerging forms of organization among self-employed professionals. Tak…
Social mix and housing policy
The article focuses on different uses of the concept of social mix and on emerging criticalities of its use as a planning principle by discussing the results of empirical research on recent housing projects in Milan, Italy. Although the concept of social mix is generally represented as a tool to improve the living conditions of disadvantaged social groups, the praise for social mix in new housing projects may also be driven by the will of targeti…
Neoliberalismo, migrazioni e segregazione spaziale. politiche abitative e mix sociale nei casi europeo e italiano
Leaving from a general discourse about the ambiguous relations between neoliberal policies, housing issues and urban segregation in Europe, we consider the Italian case. We firstly consider the characters of its housing policies, in order to show the most relevant variables in explaining migrants’ segregation. We then consider the case of Milan, with an analysis of segregation processes and of the ambiguity of public interventions, once more cons…
