The years 1945–55 were a period of reconstruction for Italy; the following decade was one of economic growth. An aspect of this transition is analysed here, in relation to the forms of social integration created in working-class neighbourhoods. The case-study focuses on Milan, and the two organizations studied are the consulte popolari (the ‘people's councils’), created by the left in the immediate post-war period, and the ‘social centres’ created in the mid-1950s by the IACP (the Autonomous Institute of Public Housing). Both were attempts to involve the new, outlying suburbs in the city's political life, each of them trying to adapt to different political phases. Both, I would like to suggest, succeeded in achieving certain results.

1945-55 年是意大利的重建时期。接下来的十年是经济增长的十年。这里分析了这种转变的一个方面，与工人阶级社区中创造的社会融合形式有关。案例研究的重点是米兰，所研究的两个组织是由左翼在战后时期创建的Consulte popolari （“人民委员会”），以及在 1950 年代中期由IACP（公共住房自治研究所）。两者都试图让新的偏远郊区参与城市的政治生活，每个人都试图适应不同的政治阶段。我想建议，两者都成功地取得了某些成果。
