It makes primary use of sources furnished by operators in the estate agency sector in this regional capital of Piedmont (the company Gabetti in particular). The intention is to define the context in which apartments became the principal independent type of housing unit on the market. The factors considered most important for this purpose are the emergence of shared ownership properties as the most common sites for contemporary housing; the definition of commercial categories which necessarily influenced residential building production (ranging from the design of communal spaces to the size of accommodation units); the ways in which supply and demand met, which were increasingly broader and more complex; and the success of the estate agent which established its contemporary professional image during the 1950s and 1960s.
