Abstract

This work investigates the possible relationship between tenure and social mix in Bologna. Using two quantitative methods (cluster analysis and entropy indices) it explores the relationship between tenure and social mix at the microscale. Different databases have been used and different socio-demographic variables have been considered as indicators of social mix. One of the main research outcomes is the impact of Public Residential Housing (Edilizia Residenziale Pubblica) on the social heterogeneity of the city.
