- Abstract
This paper examines them odifications of urban space, the reconfiguration of public and social space, and the transformations of the demographic and social structure occurred in Rom e's central district called Esquiline, with the aim of grasping how these different elements com bine and interact to start an original urban evolution process. Esquiline ranks among nowadays major "arrival districts", taking in or gathering m any immigrants and aliens. Since the Nineties, this district has been concerned with an important urban requalification program m e aim ed at stopping urban dilapidation and demographic drain. Numerous studies show that districts concerned with an urban requalification policy are often touched by gentrification. So that begs the question: so has it been happening in the Esquiline area? Our researches seem to prove that transformations generally connected to urban and building rehabilitation operations, commercial urban revitalisation, increasing number of cultural events, could entail nothing but a trompe l'oeil gentrification here.
