Urban and metropolitan populations are constantly on the move. People get in and people get out of cities and their urban regions. They often come from very far, as both national and international migration fluxes target them. And they often go very close, as households look for better and more affordable housing by moving to peripheries, if not outright suburbanizing within the same urban region. This is a matter of residential mobility. By this concept, demographers and sociologists refer to the movement of individuals or households from one residential location to another. It encompasses changes in where people live, the housing types they choose or can afford, and the geographies of their daily lives. Residential mobility can be voluntary, driven by changes in the life paths and preferences of people, or involuntary, due to circumstances like displacement and eviction. And, naturally, it has a lot to do with the social division of space and the inequalities it brings. In the 2024\/25 course, students explored the local impacts of residential mobility within the city of Milan by looking at a variety of neighbourhoods, experiencing varied processes of gentrification, densification, or decline.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
