Dergano, Milano: Immersive Experience in a Post-Pandemic Neighbourhood

The ILAUD workshop in Dergano, Milan, explores how the pandemic has impacted the social and spatial structure of the neighbourhood, and which kind of social marginalities have emerged as a result of that. The aim is to formulate ideas and approaches to rethink how architects, urban designers, and planner should professionally face this new set of challenges in a more effective way, beyond their traditional comfort zone (disciplinary area) and together with affected local communities.

During the week, particular attention will be given to different groups of vulnerable people, in primis the elderly, but also the youth, the jobless, the migrants and so on. Focusing on social marginalities, and their repercussions on housing, use of public space, access to services and to green space, and so on, this will allow to envision more suitable and sustainable strategies and inclusive principles for cities under shock and stresses. Moreover this will contribute to propose future and more sustainable post-pandemic recovery plans and projects, in line with a wider European effort to emerge from the current crisis with more resilient and climate sensitive city solutions.

Students and tutors coming from different disciplines (architecture, urban planning, public health, environmental studies, sociology and so on) will work in close contact with local communities to give them voice in this process, and to co-design together place-based sustainable strategies.
