The paper focuses on the health consequences of recent social and economic changes and stresses on the issue of housing emergency, both in quantitative and qualitative terms. What emerges is a bleak picture, especially in the suburbs of large cities, with sanitation problems comparable to those of the time of the Unity of Italy. Authors then analyze the evidence of risk related to degradation of housing and present some examples that quantify the effectiveness of environmental improvement on health. The work concludes stressing the need to bring this issue back to center of the Public Health agenda, both in terms of health impact assessment, both in terms of training and awareness of the different social actors involved, also recovering a political role emphasized by Rudolf Virchow as early as the late nineteenth century.
本文聚焦于近期社会和经济变革对健康的影响，并从数量和质量两方面强调了住房危机问题。呈现出的是一幅黯淡的景象，尤其是在大城市的郊区，卫生问题堪比意大利统一时期。作者随后分析了与住房退化相关的风险证据，并给出了一些量化环境改善对健康有效性的实例。该研究在结论中强调，有必要将此问题重新置于公共卫生议程的核心位置，这既涉及健康影响评估，也涉及对不同社会行为体的培训和认知，同时还要恢复鲁道夫·菲尔绍早在19世纪末就强调的政治作用。
