ABSTRACT
This chapter focuses on the institutional and social practices that are solicited in public building neighbourhoods by integrated recuperation interventions, with the objective of understanding how and why these interventions reorganize the city-producing society. The dynamics of connection and institution building, linked together, are the heart of the experiences that manage, in some measure, to reorganize the urban space producing social organization. In the process of modern city planning, while a series of needs are identified, an intense activity of classification brings about the definition of a plan that provides answers, ordering a sequence of functions that are distributed and organized in space. The economic crisis of the mid-1970s set overall in Europe a dramatic turn: together with the increasing retreat of welfare policies, investments in mass public housing stopped as the overall growth model of the city started to be in crisis.
