Key questions /challenges
First question /challenge: could a different quality of architecture avoid the segregation of the neighbourhoods of the city and how could the image of estate be improved without demolition?
Second question /challenge: how can social and cultural initiatives, in the framework of the actual economical crisis, contribute to the rehabilitation of deprived areas involving the new generation to build up a different and positive future?
Third question/challenge: could the culture of the university population be a tool to realize a social “mixitè” in a segregated quarter, thus obtaining a real positive impact on the local population?
