This book deals with the relationship between welfare policies and cities, the ways in which the complex set of actions designed to ensure greater well-being to different populations will help to build the city and, conversely, how the city and its various spatial articulations contribute to the well-being of its inhabitants. The book consists of two parts.

In the first we attempt to define the concept of “welfare space”, discussing the current state of the concept. In the second instead, we analyze the spatial results of the welfare policies that have been enacted in the Veneto central area and we develop some projects that try to re-imagine the contemporary city in greater totality, defining the conditions for new life cycles for the contemporary territory.
