The urban periphery, myth and reality: Milan, 1950-1990

Abstract

Much contemporary debate on the city concentrates on what is known in Italy as 'la periferia'-the urban fringe, the suburbs, the outer city. In fact, it is almost impossible to study urban history without a deep understanding of the periphery. The periphery is where the vast majority of Europe's people now live. Yet, this understanding is hampered by a widespread confusion about what the periphery is, and the myriad ways in which these urban forms, mentalities and problems are depicted. John Foot draws together some of these interpretations of the periphery-for Milan but not only for Milan-and then draws out some possible new ways of looking at this whole area of study.
