Abstract
European Mediterranean cultural and political capitals are undergoing processes of transformation of their urban structures linked to the intensification of international and internal flows of migration and temporary mobility. The presence of migrants, tourists, temporary residents, city users is changing the way in which buildings are utilized, affecting the real estate market, the commercial system, and the infrastructure system. This has resulted in redefinition of the population structure at the metropolitan scale.
This paper considers the metropolitan area of Rome and analyzes population movements during the period 2002–2017 using data relating to the structure of resident population, international and internal changes of residence, and information concerning tourist flows and the real estate market.

Notes
- 1.
Person-years are a combined measure of the number of persons undergoing a given event (in our case: birth, death, and migration) and the time during which they are in the condition of undergoing that event. It is the value placed in the denominator for calculating the rates considered here to express, for each person, the sum of years in the condition of belonging to a given quota or subset of the population (born, deceased, immigrants, emigrants).
