This book tells the story of Metropoliz, a vacant salami factory
located in the Eastern periphery of Rome (Italy) that was squatted
in 2009 by homeless households with the cooperation of the Housing
Rights Movement Blocchi Precari Metropolitani, and progressively
reconverted into the house and museum spaces that form the Citta
Meticcia (the mestizo city). Through a vivid activist-ethnographic
account, Margherita Grazioli suggests that Metropoliz exemplifies a
practice of grassroots urban regeneration that speaks to the
conflicted reconfiguration of real estate urban regimes in a
post-crisis, post-neoliberal scenario. Using the contentious
reappropriation of housing as a point of departure for claiming
manifold rights, Metropoliz represents an alternative model of
urbanity and habitation that will inspire contemporary urban social
movements concerned with the demand of the 'right to the city', as
well as those concerned with the ontology of the urban commons.
