The structure of the city is the focus of the laboratory; it is understood as a complex system of relations within which the design of public space takes shape. The program has the objective to compare students with a complex design theme and multi scale, divided into three main stages:
1_The study of the territory and planning instruments.
2_The project for the regeneration of a neighbourhood.
3_The architectural project.
1_The study of the territory and planning instruments.

The course is organized into two parts.
In the first part some introductory elements of microeconomics and basic models of the urban economy will be presented. Main concepts and theories underlying the topic will also be discussed together with some trends of growth and transformation of cities.
The second part will provide and put into practice the knowledge needed to evaluate policies and investments on a territorial scale and in particular on an urban scale. To this end, the cost-benefit analysis for investment projects will be presented together with some case studies to facilitate the understanding of how this can be applied to real cases. Afterwards, the students, divided into groups, will work on some projects that will be discussed and presented in class.

The first part of the course is based on frontal lectures. The second part of the course includes some frontal lectures and a more active participation by the students through teamwork aimed at the elaboration of a case study that will be finalized, discussed and presented in class.Attendance
A minimum presence of 75% of the scheduled hours is required.Type of evaluation
The assessment of learning takes place through a written test lasting 1 hour and the evaluation of a project that is integrated with the activities carried out in the other modules of the laboratory. The written test is aimed at verifying the level of effective understanding of the concepts presented during the first phase of the course and will take place at the end of November. The test is organized around 10 multiple choice questions and 2 exercises. The evaluation of the project will take place at the end of the course to verify the students' ability to apply the concepts learned in real contexts. teacher profile teaching materials
