Ground Floor

Mediterranean cities are changing rapidly due to increased migration flows and to social changes across the region exacerbated by the recent crisis. Emerging settlement patterns in urban regions translate these changes in diverse ways, many times associated with a lack of social integration. Urban municipal authorities and policy makers are called to respond to claims of increasing problems in new ways. Across Europe, different policy traditions advocate alternative models in response to rising issues, but there is a clear tendency of hollowing-out the state and seeking solutions in the activation of third parties and in public-private partnerships. Policies often differ also in terms of geographic scale and in methodological approach.

A two-day colloquium will address the question of how residential segregation and segregation in public space are affecting urban social inequalities and discrimination in the European South as well as the question of anti-segregation policies, both in terms of the public awareness of segregation as a problem and of the policies implemented to face it.
