Indice dei fascicoli

Abstract: Since its proclamation Capital of Italy, the socio-economic conditions of Rome’s population have proved highly dependent on the distance from the city center and from the characteristics of urbanization. Physical isolation and social marginalization have been further accentuated in the age of globalization, in absence of effective public policies aimed at contrasting fast-growing forms of inequality. The purpose of this paper is to analyse the dynamics of socio-spatial transformations taking place in the last decades in Rome, focusing on the diachronic variation of some territorial performance indicators, called territorial markers, used to intercept conditions of socio-economic centrality and marginality. The analysis is carried out with quantitative data from different sources, disaggregated at the neighbourhood level.
