Abstract

The case study will be presented summarising the city development: Turin has a past of one-company-town linked to the automotive sector and FIAT industry, then in the post-Fordist phase it became an experimental field for several spatial planning strategies (strategic plans, urban regeneration processes, urban development projects changing its urban structure). Housing policies in Turin were developed in the last decade without any form of advertising, there was a temporal agreement in favour of housing as priority among public authorities (Region and City Council), local bank foundations (ethical investors), and tertiary sector. The practices are presented and analysed according to public and private actors promoting them and the different forms they have (plans, projects, etc.). The concept of social innovation is used to analyse the practices showing strengths and weaknesses of the various projects.

1
For a complete study on the rises and falls of Turin metropolitan area, its economic development, institutional processes and socio-demographic trends see Caruso and Saccomani (2016).
 
2
The current Masterplan, approved in 1995, supported the revitalisation of the real estate sector. Building production has been accelerated following the idea of transforming the areas close to the railways and dismissed industries. The sector has fallen from 2008.
 
3
For instance, 342 units of one of the Media Villages built for the Olympic Games were transformed into social housing. In the Athletes Village, 204 units were converted into social housing.
 
4
The waiting list for subsidised housing has to be renewed every 4 years, but the list can be updated meanwhile based on the applications.
 
5
In Italy bank foundations play the specific role of ethical investors and complementary promoters of social policies. The general goal of these bank entities is to provide services and activities of general interest, which have a value for the community. These are not-for-profit entities and, according to Italian law (Legislative Decree 153/1999), they can operate in specific sectors, such as education, health, charities, religion, social housing and local development, civil rights, care of the elderly, sports, scientific research, environmental protection, art and cultural activities. In the housing and social housing sectors, they can invest in urban regeneration projects, in public-private partnerships, and they can provide public services.
 
6
Italian Law 9/2007 requires the Regions to process an extraordinary social housing plan (the law indicates a specific focus on the social housing demand and on the categories of beneficiaries).
 
7
Regarding differences in the housing demand, the Programme gives a response to people who cannot afford to pay a rent in assisted housing nor access subsidised housing. Experimental assisted housing is created for municipalities with more than 15,000 inhabitants, where rent prices should remain at an intermediate level between assisted and subsidised housing.
 
8
The financial resources are divided as follows: 306.9 million euro for the first two-year period, 256.075 for the second one and 185.875 for the third one. The Housing Programme’s life span has been extended for economical and management reasons. Initially the end of the programme was calculated as around 2012–2013.
 
9
In Turin there are two bank foundations that provide several local services and activities, either as sponsors or promoters. Compagnia di San Paolo and Fondazione CRT are active and important actors in the city and many cultural and artistic initiatives, educational and health programmes are financed by them. In particular, Compagnia di San Paolo is the sponsor of various initiatives and projects in the housing sector and has a specific programme called Housing Programme (Programma Housing).
 
10
The housing projects promoted by this fund are both new developments on greenfield sites and initiatives on existing buildings and brownfield sites. 58 % of the new dwellings will be rented at a limited price or rented for a few years and then sold. The remaining financed dwellings will be sold immediately (in some cases a restricted price is agreed with the interested municipalities).
 
11
These definitions of the criteria are identified in the ALMOLIN model (Moulaert et al. 2009, p. 42).
 
12
Temporary housing (18 months maximum), funded by the Piedmont Regional Administration, promoting housing for vulnerable people who are moving towards their independence from the support of social services. These buildings provide common services and spaces that are open to the neighbourhood, thus promoting integration. There is a social manager for each residence, who promotes social and care networks.
 
13
This form of housing, funded by the Piedmont Regional Adminstration (one project of Compagnia di San Paolo), is between social housing and independent/autonomous housing. There is no limited time for the stay. It is targeted at a specific category of people, namely the elderly (in social housing lists). The social housing supply is often unsuitable for these people due to their various social needs, health services and the barrier-free spaces required. In these buildings the elderly are mixed with other categories of people (i.e. single mothers with children) and there are common spaces and services for tenants and neighbourhood.
