Local humanitarian corridors

Reggiane OFF is a multi-level, multi-stakeholder initiative promoting social and health inclusion for migrant communities living in the Reggiane area, once home to one of Italy’s most important factories. Recently, the area has become one of the biggest informal settlements for homeless people and migrants in the Region, with a high concentration of people living under extremely poor conditions. As part of an innovative inter-institutional urban regeneration intervention within the Reggiane Innovation Park, Reggio Emilia Municipality (IT) helped create a public-private governance model to establish “local humanitarian corridors”. These create long-term and sustainable inclusion paths, based on dialogue and mediation with the people involved.
