The First Conference on City Suburbs
The first conference on city suburbs, promoted by Bracco Foundation and the Municipality of Milan in collaboration with Fondazione Cariplo and Sviluppo Chimica, has been held on Wednesday, June 20, 2018 from 9:30 AM to 4 PM at the Centro Congressi Fondazione Cariplo (via Romagnosi 8, Milan).
Baranzate is a peculiar town with distinctive elements in the make up of its social fabric: it is the Italian town with the second highest concentration of resident immigrants (33% of the 11,000 population) representing 72 nationalities, concentrated in the Gorizia quarter. In this stratified social context there are some significant shortcomings in resources and services, which help make it a difficult suburban territory. Baranzate has an urgent need for integrated interventions to guarantee the younger part of the population access to resources useful for growth. Consider that 36% of families with children under six have one or more factors of social vulnerability, 40 families among those using services for infancy are in relative poverty and six are in absolute poverty.
Several research studies on women in the news media show that women are rarely called in as experts. Those who explain and interpret the world are almost always men: in 76% of cases, according to national research by the Global Media Monitoring Project 2020.

Milan’s Central Station on the 30th of June witnessed the presentation of a new project, supported by the Bracco Foundation, “PAESE DELLA SERA”: the new free fortnightly magazine dedicated to social issues, distributed on Italo trains on the Milan – Naples route.
On January 21, 2015 begins the cycle of meetings “Giving birth with art, the art of giving birth”, dedicated to pregnant and other women.

An alliance between local institutions to offer long-term prospects and integration to women living in vulnerable conditions as a result of their migratory experience.
