L’articolo indaga le relazioni fra vicini nel centro della città di Desio, nell’area metropolitana milanese. Due situazioni abitative sono considerate per valutare in che misura la prossimità spaziale può promuovere l’interazione sociale fra gruppi socialmente e culturalmente diversi. Lo studio mostra che le diseguaglianze socio-economiche, relative all’esperienza migratoria e visibili nelle condizioni abitative e nei modi di vivere il vicinato, sono cruciali per comprendere le relazioni sociali locali.
