Hard shelters: refugee mobility between spatial exclusion and the contemporary problem of temporary living

Considering globalization as a transition of epochs, cities are becoming more and more characterized by differences, contradictions and conflicts, and the topic of mobility is linked to emergency situations due to economic and social crises and armed conflicts. While on the one hand, the possibility of establishing new connections, thanks to the advent of a technological process, has helped to ideally overcome certain boundaries, on the other hand, physical boundaries have become more rigid, marked, and increasingly populated by people who remain excluded from these changes. Mobility can be seen as the root of inequalities for people in transit, and temporary living situations due to processes of overcrowding and depopulation contribute to situations of exclusion.
