In traditionally working-class areas, a particularly appealing building stock can attract higher-income social groups, triggering new investments, rising property values, and ultimately a decline in housing affordability. At the same time, broader contextual changes\u2014such as investments in beautification or infrastructure\u2014can also boost an area\u2019s attractiveness, leading to increased development of new housing or major renovations of existing buildings. Regardless of the factors behind it, neighbourhood change presents significant challenges to housing accessibility and remains a critical focus for urban policy and planning. In the 2022\/23 course, students explored the complex relationship between housing dynamics and neighbourhood change through a real-world case study in Milan, focusing on the diverse and increasingly sought-after areas of NoLo and Via Padova. Their work addressed key issues such as housing affordability, speculative real estate markets, and the housing trajectories of specific communities and social groups.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group alignfull has-base-background-color has-background has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-36f65c2d wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50);padding-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50);padding-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50)\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns alignwide has-base-background-color has-background is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-a0d91a25 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-top is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:60%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Speculative investments and neighbourhood change: the real-estate auctions market in Nolo\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/25ZmTRV7Z6Y?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:40%\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-large-font-size\" style=\"text-transform:uppercase\">Speculative investments and neighbourhood change: the real-estate auctions market in Nolo<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-contrast-2-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-ba3ea722ddb67f174195a6f0231265dc wp-block-paragraph\">Nolo is an attractive and rapidly changing neighbourhood, undergoing a major regeneration process that reflects broader transformations across the city. In this context, the evolutions of the housing supply have played a central role, but interestingly, a specific niche market \u2013 that of public auctions linked to dispossession &#8211; has been pivotal in triggering and accelerating the neighbourhood\u2019s transformation. Nolo is among the neighbourhoods with the highest rates of foreclosure sales, drawing the attention of those interested in speculative real estate operations. The video explores this dynamic and its implications, tracing the process back to the 1990s, when NoLo was a key destination for international migrant workers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group alignfull has-base-2-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color wp-elements-43e84f3d6097cbfdadcbac999c355eb2 has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-36f65c2d wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"background-color:#37474fb0;margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50);padding-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50);padding-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50)\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns alignwide is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-a0d91a25 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:40%\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-base-2-color has-text-color has-link-color has-large-font-size wp-elements-e697de8f44af5503d12a4d23fe3b631a\" style=\"text-transform:uppercase\">Housing (un)affordability in a changing neighbourhood: the case of Nolo<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-base-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-3cf7088d3ff529f2da6d814ab41a0c5e wp-block-paragraph\">NoLo, often seen as a symbol of the rapid and unregulated gentrification taking place in Milan, has shifted from a traditionally working-class neighbourhood to a vibrant hub for young creative professionals and artists. This transformation has brought with it significant challenges, particularly around housing affordability and urban change. Housing transformations have played a major role in this process, with hundreds of new dwellings being built through densification or the repurposing of existing structures. How are these changes affecting the housing supply\u2014and, more importantly, the possibility of people who live there accessing it? This is what the video seeks to explore these issues by focusing on how housing affordability is changing in such an evolving context.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-top is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:60%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Housing (un)affordability in a changing neighbourhood: the case of Nolo\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/7sHbP6oOMgY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Housing in a changing neighborhood (A.A. 2022\/23) Neighbourhood change is both a consequence and a driver of transformations in the housing sector.
