In 2010 the Milan municipality establishes, through ordinances in the area of via Padova, via Paolo Sarpi (Chinatown) and in the Corvetto neighbourhood, stricter controls on rents and limitations on opening hours of same (ethnic) business categories (massage parlours, phone centres, bars and takeaways). The ordinances which have been defined "measures against degradation" by politicians and "a curfew" by the press, focus on areas with a high rate of immigration where some episodes, sometimes sensational, had been a sign of uneasiness and malaise.
