The binomial economic poverty/educational poverty was strongly revealed in the pandemic period but had already been widely studied and known previously (Sen, 1994; 2000). The two conditions often combine to create and fuel dynamics of spatially defined poverty and marginalization: urban question and social question tend to overlap especially in the so-called places of “social relegation” (Donzelot, 2009) which become spaces of potential exclusion and at the same time potentially “exclusive”. Public residential housing neighbourhoods (ERP), as a “problematic legacy of a policy of the past” (Cellamare, 2008), today represent those portions of the city in which the combination of economic poverty/educational poverty tends to accentuate. Based on these premises, the four-year Rapporti Corti project insists on one of the areas of Bologna at the greatest risk of economic and social fragility, the statistical area “Piazza dell’Unità”. This contribution intends to highlight the project, emphasizing its positive aspects and potential for replicability.
