Il contributo degli immigrati alla dinamica demografica di alcuni ambiti urbani italiani

The primary aim of the paper is to evaluate the contribution of internal and international migration to the population dynamics of eight Italian urban ambits (Turin, Milan, Verona, Bologna, Florence, Rome, Naples and Palermo) during the period 2001-2011. Secondly, the article analyzes the main demographic features of the foreign resident population in those eight urban settings in order to find potential regularities or discontinuities both across and within the selected urban ambits (core and rings).
