teacher profile | teaching materials

Programme

The course “Innovations in planning” is made up of two components: Urban Regeneration and Sustainability and climate adaptation.

As part of the Urban Regeneration component, the most recent themes and tools of urban and territorial governance will be discussed, with particular reference to integrated approaches to city management, which jointly consider both the physical aspects (brownfields recovery, public spaces redevelopment, urban expansions), and social and environmental issues of urban settlements.
A particular attention will be given to cooperative tools among various public administrations and to collaborative tools between public and private subjects (the so called Complex Plans and Urban Regeneration Programs) that nowadays represent the most innovative forms to manage the urban transformations in Italy.
As a practical assignment, a planning exercise will also be proposed, with the preparation of a master plan for the urban recovery of an area chosen together with the students, in which will be possible to intercept the essential components of the structure planning: settlement, infrastructural system, environmental system.

As part of the Sustainability and Climate adaptation component of the course, the various problems induced on the city by climate change will be explained, and then the experiences of climate adaptation carried od by the main European cities (Copenhagen, Rotterdam, London, Stockholm) and by some Italian cities will be illustrated (Bologna, Rome) to increase urban resilience, with particular reference to reduce the hydraulic risk, to contain the heat island, to protect public transport, urban green areas and biodiversity.

The course “Innovations in planning” will activate forms of coordination with the Degree Laboratory “Resilient City, Resilient Society”

Type of delivery of the course

The activities subsequent to the theoretical communications provide, alternatively, between them: - a planning exercise in the preparation of a masterplan for the urban redevelopment of a jointly chosen area, in which it is possible to intercept the essential components of structural planning: settlement system, infrastructural system, environmental system; - The production of thematic research, with data processing, comparison between cases and drafting of a text that will have the characteristics of a scientific publication. The educational activities of the application type will receive help from the didactic support guaranteed by the Course, in particular for the use of GIS systems. The course will activate forms of coordination with the Resilient City Graduation Laboratory, Resilient Society; the thematic in-depth studies carried out in the course will find development in the drafting of the thesis, in which must be identifiable as a result of the course.

Attendance

Attendance at the course is mandatory, attendance will be collected.
