Una storia dei danchi giapponesi: transizioni architettoniche, sociali ed economiche dal dopoguerra a oggi

Te paper aims to frame a state of knowledge on danchi, state-sponsored housing complexes built in Japan between the 1950s and 1970s. It focuses on a series of transformations that occurred over seventy years – from their development to today’s heritage-making processes – in their architectural,urban, social, and economic forms. Tracing their transition within the Japanese housing history, it also observes the changes in the collective perception of this modern legacy.
