摘要

This chapter explores how the conceptual and design framework of Systemic Proximity can be applied to foster social inclusion and empowerment of migrant women. Focused on the Archive Project in Milan—a community hub supporting migrant women—as a case study, the research examines how participatory approaches can facilitate collaboration, innovation, and the creation of inclusive urban ecosystems. These methods enabled the involvement of participants in co-research and co-design workshops to develop services promoting collaboration, agency, and social integration. The study reveals how design processes can address the needs of vulnerable communities in gentrified urban environments. The findings highlight the transformative potential of integrating systemic design practices to foster resilience and community empowerment.
