Abstract:  The housing policies inaugurated by the INA in Rome during the second half of the 20th century, interweave some of the most relevant moments of the processes of growth and transformation of the city, of the definition of a regulatory frame and of planning and services policies that regulate the urban expansion, but also cross of some of the most important National housing programs, inaugurated after WWII. The research conducted at the INA Assitalia archive allowed to trace the forms, the seasons and the geographies that have marked the construction of this mostly unexplored residential stock. Between the 1950s and the 1970s, the construction of new residential sectors for INA employees, allows to observe the encounter between the residential policies and settlement strategies promoted by the institution, housing models, typological experiments, residential aspirations and lifestyles of the Italian employees, introducing a plurality of actors, policies, ways of financing and of accessing to the ownership of an apartment, in a process in which the private initiative and the forms of public intervention continuously intersect.
