大阪府住宅供給公社(總社:大阪市中央區,理事長:山本 讓,以下簡稱「公社」)提供府內公社賃貸住宅SMALIO(Smario),現已更新其專題網站「家所編織的故事~大阪府住宅供給公社 過去、現在、未來」的內容。該網站旨在傳播關於優質住宅供應、城鎮發展以及伴隨而生的居住文化。最新更新公開了曾存在於泉北新市鎮(堺市南區)的「青年城」的軌跡。
青年城 ~年輕人共同成長的城鎮記憶~
「青年城」誕生於1972年,位於泉北新市鎮的三原台。這是為在高經濟成長期聚集到大阪的年輕勞動者提供的住所。
當時,住宅短缺問題嚴重,該城鎮作為綜合性的勤勞青少年對策而整備,由大阪府、國家及民間合作。它不僅僅是單身者住宅,更是一個支持年輕人自立與成長的「生活社群」。
「青年城」地理位置便利,距離泉北高速鐵道(現為南海電鐵泉北線)的「泉丘」站步行約10分鐘,可約30分鐘抵達大阪市中心。計畫入住人數約為10,000人。
作為其中一部分,公社建設了2,000戶賃貸住宅「三原台單身者住宅」。

房間約為4.5疊大小,配備共用洗衣機和投幣式瓦斯爐,生活環境稱不上便利。然而,月租金不到1萬日圓,對剛踏入社會的年輕人來說是莫大的支持。
另一方面,大浴場、食堂、體育館、網球場等公共設施一應俱全,成為年輕人在下班後或休假時交流、娛樂的場所。
家長制度 ~另一個家庭~
「青年城」的一大特色是設有「家長」。這些住進社區的「家長」對於離家到大阪的年輕人來說,儼然是父母般的角色。他們透過日常的互動,例如在居民生病時煮粥、關心飲食、深夜陪伴傾聽談話等,為入住者帶來了安心感和歸屬感。
