In the context of fragmenting society, housing experiences are becoming very fragmented as well. The increasing pace of ageing, the changing and pluralising forms of migration, the spread of citizenship stratification, and the pluralisation of the sources of vulnerability are reshaping how certain social groups are housed in cities. Reception centres, elderly residences, emergency housing, and refuge homes are becoming increasingly important in defining what housing and dwelling mean today. How and to what extent are these solutions an answer to housing vulnerability or an unwanted and undesirable consequence? In the 2022\/23 course, students aimed at providing a picture of not-ordinary forms of housing linked to vulnerable living conditions in Milan, understanding the structural features leading to the existence and proliferation of these forms of housing, and enlightening the consequences of vulnerable and not-ordinary housing conditions on other dimensions of urban and social life.<\/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=\"Access to services for informal dwellers\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/d0-OpMlnmKA?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\">Access to services for informal dwellers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-contrast-2-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-0c98ac30553b1f285d18a721aabfca02 wp-block-paragraph\">Informal housing is not always a temporary solution. The need for shelter can lead people to occupy abandoned properties without a contract, often living under illegal conditions for extended periods. Since many services are provided based on legal residence, how can informal dwellers access these services? This video explores this sensitive and under-examined issue by focusing on the San Siro neighbourhood in Milan, where informal housing occupations are common, involving even families with children. In particular, the challenges that these conditions pose to health, education, and waste collection services are considered.<\/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-edc4e0c983ac341680262d08f4d0ace0 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-97fa5cd95bc80e187ef9757094551f9c\" style=\"text-transform:uppercase\">Housing after detention<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-base-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-a9f38f86709a47c520a83937ee458809 wp-block-paragraph\">What does it mean to find adequate housing after an experience of detention? While some inmates can make it back to their families, others must start their lives anew. And this comes with tremendous obstacles and challenges. Through the analysis of data and documents, the video explores the issue of reintegration into society for former inmates, with a focus on housing in Milan. It highlights the challenges that former inmates encounter in the housing market. And it documents how this key dimension of social integration is often neglected by social policies and the public debate.<\/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 after detention\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/f03jsxB5NNg?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\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 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=\"Protecting women victims of domestic violence: anti-violence centres and refugee houses\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/slMCBm3MwdQ?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\">Protecting women victims of domestic violence: anti-violence centres and refugee houses.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-contrast-2-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-1e8cf6efcf104395425c833ccd42ebdc wp-block-paragraph\">The journey of reintegration and self-recovery from domestic violence begins with access to safe, dedicated housing. Survivors of domestic violence often face severe housing vulnerability not only because of the economic hardship that frequently follows abuse, but also due to their need for safety and protection. This video explores the scope and characteristics of this issue and examines the measures and responses developed to address it in Milan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-contrast-2-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-5d729671b34fb813eff06bd4dc38d6f6 wp-block-paragraph\"><\/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-4ccf0edb6f62fd1da2b324fecd2839ac 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-462a1b0e8cf808097c17c607a63b50ba\" style=\"text-transform:uppercase\">Housing and community on wheels: how circus workers dwell<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-base-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-aa15dff1a716780921490c45ffabfcc8 wp-block-paragraph\">Working in a circus certainly brings a rather unconventional way of life. Growing up in a circus family or joining one for a sustained period of life while it travels means calling the circus your home. This video explores what \u201chousing\u201d means for circus workers: how it is organised, how it differs from ordinary forms of housing for its nomadic nature, and the unique challenges faced by people in this way of life. From the routines of daily life to the complexities of administration, this video opens a window onto a life that is anything but ordinary, focusing on housing.<\/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 and community on wheels: how circus workers dwell\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/qGX73j4duRU?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>THE NOT-ORDINARY HOUSING: EXPLORING HOUSING TYPOLOGIES AND LIVING CONDITIONS AMONG VULNERABLE GROUPS (A.A. 2023\/24) What is ordinary housing, and what is not ordinary housing?
