Torino Student Housing - The widespread student housing project
Torino Student Housing is a student housing project designed by Prof. Paolo Biancone of the Department of Management, promoted by the University of Turin and the Polytechnic University of Turin to offer quality rentals by revaluing empty flats in the City of Turin.
Torino Student Housing was created both to respond to the housing needs of national and international off-site students at Turin's universities and to regenerate flats unsuitable for short- and long-term rental as they need to be renovated.
