Le politiche urbane per l'inclusione. Generare terzo spazio

In a phase like the present one, the city is characterized by a multiculturalism, which is still faced with the criterion of melting pot, the homogenization of differences, more than the complex one of salade bawl. A crucial instrument is the (ri)planning of urban space focused on the achievement of inclusion processes, starting from the carryng out of structural, specific, and widespread projects. The third spaces have a foundamental role. They are physical spaces where different subjects can meet each other, and start processes of construction of territorial communities based on differences and on mixite. Some policies have chosen waiting strategies towards spontaneus processes of virtuous composition of differences. Others, instead, have chosen governig strategies of those differences, and active inclusion processes.
