Editing Gentrification (section)

===Italy===
In [[Italy]], similarly to other countries around the world, the phenomenon of gentrification is proceeding in the largest cities, such as [[Milan]], [[Turin]], [[Genoa]] and [[Rome]].<ref name="ilfattoquotidiano">{{cite journal |last1=Balocco |first1=Fabio |date=28 October 2015 |title=Gentrification, il fenomeno che cambia l'aspetto delle nostre città |journal=Il Fatto Quotidiano |language=it |url=http://www.ilfattoquotidiano.it/2015/10/28/gentrification-il-fenomeno-che-cambia-laspetto-delle-nostre-citta/2163808/}}</ref><ref name="diappi">{{cite book |title=Rigenerazione urbana e ricambio sociale.

In Milan, gentrification is changing the look of some semi-central neighborhoods, just outside the inner ring road (called "[[Walls of Milan#Spanish walls|Cerchia dei Bastioni]]"), particularly of former working class and industrial areas.
One of the most well known cases is the neighborhood of [[Isola (district of Milan)|Isola]]. Despite its position, this area has been for a long time considered as a suburb since it has been an isolated part of the city, due to the physical barriers such as the railways and the [[Naviglio Martesana]]. In the 1950s, a new [[Centro Direzionale di Milano|business district]] was built not far from this area, but Isola remained a distant and low-class area. In the 2000s vigorous efforts to make Isola as a symbolic place of the Milan of the future were carried out and, with this aim, the Porta Garibaldi-Isola districts became attractors for stylists and artists.<ref name="diappi" /><ref name="brizioli">{{cite web|url=http://www.globalist.it/Detail_News_Display?ID=68713&typeb=3&Storia-dell-Isola-il-quartiere-storico-che-vogliono-cancellare|title=Storia dell'Isola, il quartiere storico che vogliono cancellare|last1=Brizioli|first1=Antonio|website=Globalist.it|language=it|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160328131759/http://www.globalist.it/Detail_News_Display?ID=68713&typeb=3&Storia-dell-Isola-il-quartiere-storico-che-vogliono-cancellare|archive-date=28 March 2016|url-status=dead}}</ref> Moreover, in the second half of the same decade, a massive urban rebranding project, known as [[Porta Nuova (Milan)|Progetto Porta Nuova]], started and the neighbourhood of Isola, despite the compliances residents have had,<ref>{{Cite web |language=it |url=http://www.report.rai.it/dl/Report/puntata/ContentItem-5f35618b-f698-4bfe-b9a3-b953bdc18380.html |title=Report CARA MADUNINA |website=www.report.rai.it |access-date=20 March 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110220074337/http://www.report.rai.it/dl/Report/puntata/ContentItem-5f35618b-f698-4bfe-b9a3-b953bdc18380.html |archive-date=20 February 2011 |url-status=dead }}</ref> has been one of the regenerated areas, with the [[Bosco Verticale]] and the new Giardini di Porta Nuova.

Another semi-central district that has undergone this phenomenon in Milan is [[Zona Tortona]]. Former industrial area situated behind [[Milano Porta Genova railway station|Porta Genova station]], Zona Tortona is nowadays the Mecca of Italian design and annually hosts some of the most important events of the [[Milan Design Week]] during which more than 150 expositors, such as [[Superstudio]], take part.<ref name="mentelocale">{{cite web |url=http://milano.mentelocale.it/28696-zona-tortona-il-quartiere-di-milano-che-dalla-fabbrica-passa-a-moda-e-design/ |title=Zona Tortona: il quartiere di Milano che dalla fabbrica passa a moda e design |last1=Dispenza |first1=Andrea |website=Mentelocale.it |access-date=20 March 2016 |language=it |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160327070407/http://milano.mentelocale.it/28696-zona-tortona-il-quartiere-di-milano-che-dalla-fabbrica-passa-a-moda-e-design/ |archive-date=27 March 2016 |url-status=dead }}<br>{{cite web |url=http://www.tortonadesignweek.com/ |title=Tortona Design Week |language=it |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120211215733/http://www.tortonadesignweek.com/ |archive-date=11 February 2012 |url-status=dead }}</ref> In Zona Tortona, some of important landmarks, related to culture, design and arts, are located such as Fondazione [[Arnaldo Pomodoro|Pomodoro]], the [[Armani/Silos]], Spazio A and MUDEC.

Going towards the outskirts of the city, other gentrified areas of Milan are [[Lambrate|Lambrate-Ventura]] (where others events of the Milan Design Week are hosted),<ref name="giorgi">{{cite news|last1=Giorgi|first1=Anna|title=Lambrate sa di Londra, il quartiere torna a vivere con East Market|newspaper=Il Giorno|date=7 February 2016|url=http://www.ilgiorno.it/milano/lambrate-east-market-1.1710492|language=it}}<br>{{cite web|url=http://www.02blog.it/post/86467/lambrate-ventura-quartieri-milano|title=Lambrate Ventura: il quartiere cool del momento|last1=Signorelli|first1=Andrea|website=02blog.it|language=it|access-date=21 March 2016|date=15 June 2015}}</ref> [[Bicocca (district of Milan)|Bicocca]] and [[Bovisa]] (in which universities have contributed to the gentrification of the areas), [[Sesto San Giovanni]], Via Sammartini, and the so-called [[Piazzale Loreto|NoLo]] district (which means "Nord di Loreto").<ref name="arsuffi">{{cite web|url=http://blog.urbanfile.org/2016/03/18/milano-loreto-benvenuti-a-nolo/|title=Milano Loreto – Benvenuti a NoLo|last1=Arsuffi|first1=Roberto|website=Blog.urbanfile.org|language=it|access-date=21 March 2016|date=18 March 2016}}</ref>
