The article aims to compare Italy with other European countries (such as France, the Netherlands and the UK) on the current debate on social mix policies which is locally mainly interpreted as mixed housing tenures. The paper points out that in Lombardy -and specifically in Milan- proximity in itself does not imply any social cohesion and public actions put in place are sometimes still unclear, too weak and fragile. However, some local experiences in social housing estates based on community empowerment can trigger social innovation in this field.
