Allarme sociale e migranti: l’esperienza di un quartiere CEP in Napoli tra inclusione e segregazione

The multicultural dimension developed by the contemporary city often does not correspond to an adequate organization of urban spaces and places. In Italy, this phenomenon is grafted on the inadequacy of the "modernists"” planning in meeting the demand of the city. The increase of migrations generally impacts on contexts already characterized by social deprivation and spatial decay. The paper, discussing about the urban planning field of interest, starts from the definition of "permanent slums" by Jane Jacobs characterized by inadequate interactions between original inhabitants and newcomers. The case study of Rione Traiano in Naples has been developed in order to understand the process of social inclusion regarding migrants and nomads communities. The results of the first stages of the case study support the hypothesis that sectoral policies dedicated to migrants could contribute in producing segregation and self-segregation; the fieldwork developed has been oriented to dealing with multicultural demand in terms of coexistence and cultural interaction by producing integrated policies for spaces and services. The paper represents also an outcome of the collaboration of the authors in the research project (2013-2015) BESECURE - Best practices Enhancers for Security in Urban Environments funded by the 7th Framework Programme.
