L’interesse dei giovani innovatori sociali per i modelli di abitare collaborativo

Between precarious contracts and low salaries, it is difficult to be young today. So many, every year, move to the big metropolises, attracted by the promises that only cities like Milan, Bologna or Florence seem to offer. The city is perceived as a springboard for new income opportunities, career opportunities, cultural activities, sociality. Yet, in all Italian metropolises, the cost of rent grows rapidly, eroding more than half of the monthly income. The impossibility of securing a roof over one's head at affordable prices, the absence of a real social lift and the contraction of forms of permanent employment even within the most attractive metropolises lead to the rapid precariousness of young people, seriously undermining their well-being. In response to these critical issues, new forms of housing - collective, cooperative and popular - are rapidly emerging. Focusing mainly on Turin and Milan, this volume aims to describe the emerging contours of a new 'fluid living': flexible and unstructured solutions with their risks and potential.
