How can social housing be the trigger for cities to adopt resilience measures to cope with climate change? How can the themes of social housing and climate resilience meet in the design of new urban spaces? How are these themes adaptable to the contemporary city? And how relevant will climate and living issues be in the city of the future? These are the fundamental research questions to start from for this thesis, which is divided into two main parts. The first part has the task of introducing the main themes of the work, producing an analysis of the area on which to develop the project and finally listing a series of useful references for the development of the project. Then the thesis begins by defining what is meant by Climate and Housing, and why to relate these themes. It then defines the scope of work on which to apply the introduced themes concretely. Then the thesis considers the Reinventing Cities competitions organised by C40 as an opportunity to combine the design of urban spaces with the challenges of climate and social housing. The city of Milan decided to participate in the third edition of the competitions, submitting six suburban areas to be reinvented primarily from a housing point of view, but still considering the "classic" RC themes of energy efficiency, circularity, zero emissions, resilience and sustainability of cities. The following thesis, therefore, considered the Piazzale Martesana site in the Gorla-Precotto district. A series of analyses and considerations developed in the first chapters then emerged in this area. In particular, a series of general analyses and considerations of the RC notice and specific requests were developed. Subsequently, the analytical part is divided into two parts: the first concerns a series of analyses on the problematic conditions from the point of view of climate and living in Milan and the Gorla-Precotto district. The second part, on the other hand, is concerned with analysing a series of planning instruments for Milan and whether they can address the problems of climate and living that emerged in the previous chapter. The first part of the thesis then concludes with a series of planning references and excellent practical applications of climate and housing issues. In the second part of the thesis, the Piazzale Martesana and the summaries of the analytical chapters are taken up to develop the design. First, design principles are defined through the consideration of a series of planning and design tools provided by the Reinventing Cities competition, the PGT and others. Next, strategies for the layout of the square were defined, through graphic definition, but also in writing, i.e. with the support of the 10 RC challenges that were linked to the design strategies and choices. After strategically and schematically defining the redefinition of the square, an active and practical representation of the final design was made, explaining the actions taken and justifying them. The thesis concludes with a schematic representation of how the design actions are related to the 10 challenges of Reinventing Cities and some of the UN Sustainable Development Goals. Conclusions are then drawn in response to the initial research questions, demonstrating the final findings and practical results of the thesis.
In che modo l'edilizia sociale può essere il fattore scatenante che spinge le città a adottare misure di resilienza per far fronte ai cambiamenti climatici? Come i temi dell'abitare sociale e della resilienza climatica possono incontrarsi nella progettazione di nuovi spazi urbani? Come queste tematiche sono adattabili alla città contemporanea? E quanto saranno rilevanti i temi del clima e dell'abitare nella città del futuro? Queste sono le domande di ricerca fondamentali da cui partire per la tesi, che si suddivide in due parti principali. La prima parte ha il compito di introdurre le tematiche principali del lavoro, produrre delle analisi del territorio sul quale sviluppare il progetto e infine per elencare una serie di riferimenti utili allo sviluppo del progetto. Quindi la tesi inizia definendo cosa si intende per Climate e Housing, e capire perché mettere in relazione questi temi. Successivamente si definisce l'ambito di lavoro sul quale applicare in modo concreto i temi introdotti. Quindi la tesi prende in considerazione i concorsi di Reinventing Cities organizzati da C40 come opportunità per coniugare alla progettazione di spazi urbani le sfide climatiche e dell'abitare sociali. Infatti, la città di Milano ha deciso di partecipare alla terza edizione dei concorsi, presentando sei ambiti periferici da reinventare in primis dal punto di vista abitativo, ma pur sempre considerando i "classici" temi di RC ovvero quelli dell'efficienza energetica, della circolarità, zero emissioni, resilienza e sostenibilità delle città. La seguente tesi ha preso quindi in considerazione il sito di Piazzale Martesana nel quartiere di Gorla-Precotto. Su questa area sono poi emerse una serie di analisi e considerazioni sviluppate nei primi capitoli. In particolare, sono state sviluppate una serie di analisi generali e di considerazione del bando di RC e le richieste specifiche. Successivamente la parte analitica si suddivide in due parti: la prima riguarda una serie di analisi sulle condizioni problematiche dal punto di vista climatico e dell'abitare a Milano e nel quartiere Gorla-Precotto. La seconda parte invece si occupa di analizzare una serie di strumenti di pianificazione per Milano e di capire se possono affrontare le problematiche del clima e dell'abitare che sono emerse nel capitolo precedente. La prima parte della tesi si conclude poi con la rappresentazione di una serie di riferimenti progettuali e ottime applicazioni pratiche dei temi climatici e abitativi. Per quanto riguarda la seconda parte della tesi, si riprende il Piazzale Martesana e le sintesi dei capitoli analitici per svilupparne il progetto. Come prima cosa si definiscono dei principi cardine progettuali grazie alla considerazione di una serie di strumenti di pianificazione e progettazione forniti dal concorso di Reinventing Cities, dal PGT e altri. Successivamente si sono definite delle strategie di assetto della piazza, tramite definizione grafica, ma anche scritta ovvero con il supporto delle 10 sfide di RC che sono state legate alle strategie e scelte progettuali. Dopo aver definito in modo strategico e schematico la ridefinizione del piazzale, si è proceduto con la rappresentazione attiva e pratica del progetto finale, spiegandone le azioni apportate e giustificandole. La tesi si conclude con la rappresentazione schematica di come le azioni progettali siano legate alle 10 sfide di Reinventing Cities e ad alcuni dei Sustainable Development Goals delle Nazioni Unite. Vengono poi tratte delle conclusioni in risposta alle domande di ricerca iniziali, dimostrando le scoperte finali e i risultati pratici della tesi.

Abstract
How can social housing be the trigger for cities to adopt resilience measures to cope with climate change? How can the themes of social housing and climate resilience meet in the design of new urban spaces? How are these themes adaptable to the contemporary city? And how relevant will climate and living issues be in the city of the future? These are the fundamental research questions to start from for this thesis, which is divided into two main parts. The first part has the task of introducing the main themes of the work, producing an analysis of the area on which to develop the project and finally listing a series of useful references for the development of the project. Then the thesis begins by defining what is meant by Climate and Housing, and why to relate these themes. It then defines the scope of work on which to apply the introduced themes concretely. Then the thesis considers the Reinventing Cities competitions organised by C40 as an opportunity to combine the design of urban spaces with the challenges of climate and social housing. The city of Milan decided to participate in the third edition of the competitions, submitting six suburban areas to be reinvented primarily from a housing point of view, but still considering the "classic" RC themes of energy efficiency, circularity, zero emissions, resilience and sustainability of cities.
