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.

Urban Economics contributes to the learning of theoretical elements and methodologies functional to the analysis of the urban socioeconomic context as far as the main lab project is concerned.
Proposed subjects of study are expected to support students in their acquisition of the basic tools needed to analyse the socioeconomic persective of urban dimensions.
The analysis approach will inevitably be multidimensional, as to deal with the multiple aspects of the urban system development process, and will profit from multidisciplinary inputs (economics, sociology, statistics).
MAIN TOPICS COVERED:
1. The city in socioeconomics: theoretical concepts and measures
2. Economic geography and models of urban economics: 1. Localisation theories and agglomeration principle
3. Economic geography and models of urban economics: 2. Externalities and urbanisation economies
4. Economic geography and models of urban economics: 3. Local development analysis, SLL and production districts
5. Economic geography and models of urban economics: 4. Cities in international networks
6. Bases of social research methods
7. Well-being measures and quality of life: 1. Theories, concepts and methodological approaches
8. Well-being measures and quality of life: 2. Indicators and case studies
9. Well-being measures and quality of life: 3. Urban quality of life and sustainability
10. Well-being measures and quality of life: 4. The case of Rome and local statistics
11. Introductoin to impact evaluation
12. Introduction to marketing
Suggested readings according to lectures on a case-by-case basis

Type of evaluation
This course contributes to the compound assessment achieved within the Lab. Wiht regard to this topic, students will present their teamwork assignment at the end of the course and will take a written test on the subjects covered in class by the lecturer. Class participation and active contribution to moments of common discussion will also concurr to the final evaluation.Mutuazione: 21002038-4 ECONOMIA URBANA in Architettura - Progettazione architettonica LM-4 CANALE I PARENTE FRANCESCA
