The Bicocca University in Milan arranged from 10 till the 23th of April 2007 an Intensive Program for
students from nine different countries in Europe. One of the subjects of the program was the restructuring of
the Bicocca area, where the university is now situated. The first week was dedicated to lectures concerning
this project and some other interesting subjects in Milan. The second week was reserved for working at this
project. The aim was to create a final report about the socio-spatial hierarchy in Bicocca. It was very
interesting to work in a group with members from different European countries. We have learned a lot from
each other, especially about the different visions and background of the different students. Language wasn’t
a big barrier and with an intensive group work we were able to make this paper. The only problem was
translating Italian literature and interviewing people on the streets, because we didn’t have any Italian
students in our group who could do that part. With a creative mind we worked our way around this and made
use of another student at Bicocca University.
We would like to thank the Bicocca University for arranging this Intensive Program and tutoring us during the
two weeks.
