Convivenza plurale e spazi urbani

This article aims to outline the practices of social interaction between individuals and/or social groups in the urban spaces of our cities. Cities represent the most suitable context for analyzing the interactive dynamics between foreigners and residents. The cities have always offered opportunities for foreigners to meet and they represent a pole of attraction for individuals and groups looking for opportunities. This phenomenon has made them free spaces for the coexistence of people with different social and cultural backgrounds (Mantovan 2015, Simmel 1903). Observing the daily practices of coexistence it is possible overcoming a normative vision that considers the individuals within rigid categories, highlighting how concretely subjects build and redefine their relationships and identity day by day (Colombo 2015).
