Workshop: Public Policies of Memory and Urban Space: the Case of Milan

The workshop aims to illustrate the public policies of memory in a large metropolitan city, starting with the case of Milan. Particular attention will be paid to the impact of public choices and local administrations in determining memory policies and to the interaction between public policies and third parties. The goal is to help students understand the breadth and variety of possible memorial policies and the different implications that each of them necessarily entails.

The workshop aims to illustrate memory policies in urban areas, starting with the case of Milan. The objective is to broaden students' knowledge of issues such as street naming and toponymy policies, memorial policies, and public monumentalisation. The workshop will focus on the actions of public administration, but will also emphasise the interactions between public policies and third parties (universities, foundations, associations, various cultural entities).
