Over the last decades, Turin not only reinvented itself as a post-industrial city but also became one of the leading European universities’ cities. While its tradition is manufacturing and logistics, its present identity is increasingly driven by knowledge, research, and education. The likes of Politecnico di Torino and Università degli Studi di Torino have experienced an increasing number of students from across Italy and the globe, leading to demographic rejuvenation and cultural diversity. The growth, however, has placed additional pressure on housing facilities within the area—particularly those around university campuses and buildings. The pressure is felt most acutely in the absence of affordable and decent student accommodation.
