Abstract
This chapter examines the relations between housing policies for Roma and the segregation of Roma in European cities. Based on ethnographic research carried out between 2008 and 2011, it looks comparatively at two local policies; the first is the planning and construction of a peripheral “nomad camp” in Florence (Italy), the second is the relocation of 56 families to a polluted area on the outskirts of Cluj-Napoca (Romania). After discussing strategies, objectives, motivations and underpinning principles of each policy, four recommendations to policymakers and practitioners are put forward.
