ABSTRACT

Social space is a temporary shared space that takes place in unused space. It is not a stable home and workplace, but a third space to establish social encounters and relationships that form an individual identity. “Leoncavallo” and “Piano Terra” the social spaces of Milan in Italy are located outside the state government and market system, and both work with migrants who have little support since their arrival. However, Leoncavallo, which occupies a large space, has encountered several obstacles with state and NGO’s initiatives to force the users out, and market developers who want to turn their occupied space into a profitable venture. In this regard, social centers such as Leoncavallo and Piano Terra are not able to fully cope with the scale of humanitarian crises from deportation, eviction, escape from violence, and stateless conditions. However, unlike a social system, which does not provide jobs amid the waiting process of refugee qualification, it shows some capability to cope with an increase in the refugee population.
