Geografia sociale dell’integrazione. Le voci dei migranti forzati nella Città metropolitana di Milano

Abstract

The paper deals with the Italian system of second reception for asylum seekers and refugees, specifically focusing on the case of the Milan Metropolitan Area. Through a series of in-depth interviews with guests of the SAI Project (Sistema di Accoglienza e Integrazione), the research aims at assessing opportunities and obstacles encountered by forced migrants during their integration process. Particular attention is also paid to the socio-territorial characteristics of the municipalities examined, in order to outline some lines of development for the construction of an inclusive urban space.
