DISUGUAGLIANZE SOCIO-ECONOMICHE E TRASFORMAZIONI URBANE NELLA ROMA CONTEMPORANEA (FINE XX - INIZI XXI SECOLO) Keti Lelo CROMA-Università Roma Tre Abstract: Since its proclamation Capital of Italy, the socio-economic conditions of Rome’s popu- lation have proved highly dependent on the distance from the city center and from the characte- ristics of urbanization. Physical isolation and social marginalization have been further accentuated in the age of globalization, in absence of effective public policies aimed at contrasting fast-growing forms of inequality. The purpose of this paper is to analyse the dynamics of socio-spatial trans- formations taking place in the last decades in Rome, focusing on the diachronic variation of some territorial performance indicators, called territorial markers, used to intercept conditions of socio-economic centrality and marginality. The analysis is carried out with quantitative data from different sources, disaggregated at the neighbourhood level. Keywords: Socio-Economic Inequalities; Spatial Analysis; Rome; Urban History. 1. Introduzione La tendenza verso la dispersione delle attività produttive emersa con la globa- lizzazione e l’avvento della telematica ha alimentato, nel corso degli ultimi cin- quant’anni, processi che stanno cambiando la struttura delle aree metropolitane a livello mondiale. Mentre la produzione supera i confini nazionali generando l’espansione di network globali di società affiliate e sussidiarie, i servizi tendono a concentrarsi in un numero limitato di ‘città globali’ 1 . Le conseguenze di questi processi si possono indagare a livello internazionale in termini di competizione 1 Cfr. S.
