21002068 - URBAN AND SPATIAL POLICIES

Urban transformation - the course area of interest - is faced in a way to convey to the students the most suitable attitudes and postures, excluding final and preordained solutions. The course aims to convey the skill to identify the policies in action in the urban transformations and how they shape the contemporary city. Identify means acquire the skill to distinguish the policies in elements, actors and actions. The students will face the instruments and the operative methods usually employed for the policies implementation; they will learn to build, with different way to examine in depth the specific policies addressed to the theme of transformation, limited to some selected themes: sharing, habitability, density/intensity.

Programme

The aim of the course is to provide students with the conceptual and methodological tools to read, interpret and address governance schemes within urban and territorial transformations, where decision-making is called upon to cope with manifold proposals in a context full of regulations and diverging actors and interests.
Part one faces the needs stemming from local contexts, the way they are detected and acknowledged within welfare and urban regulation policies, since long term provisional models are currently denied by new environmental emergencies, immigration, stagflation, and other largely unpredictable circumstances.
Part two is faced with territorial policies of the European Union and of the member countries. Such approach helps revisit the wide range of Italian urban and territorial policies with particular regard to supra-local governance and urban regeneration issues.
Part three deals with the transformation scenarios that await Rome's metropolitan city and their effects on territorial governance, focusing on a case study falling under the jurisdiction of different authorities, marked by complex environmental, settlement and production problems disputed between different uses and utilities and general and sectoral tools.
