The Town at the End of the Town: Integration and Segregation in Suburbia
The paper is concerned with a thematic issue, that is the segregation of social housing in urban peripheries, and with a methodological discussion, regarding the configurational approach to the analysis of urban settlements. Different techniques based on such method are here applied on social housing areas located in the edge of towns, in order to account for the effects of the configuration of the urban grid on their condition of segregation and marginality. The purpose is to test the configurational techniques on several case studies, so as to prove them as a reliable and useful tool to analyse and understand such areas, but, even more, to support town planning both in the project of new housing estates and in redeveloping and rehabilitating the diseased ones.
