EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES
Goal 11 of the 2030 Agenda “Sustainable cities and communities” identifies with its Targets the multiple challenges to be faced so that urban centers are places of work and prosperity where everyone has access to basic services, energy, housing, transportation and much more, improving the use of resources and reducing pollution and poverty.
In this context, the aim of the course is to provide knowledge and tools to understand through which local actions and interconnected solutions it is possible to contribute to creating an urban environment that is healthy, from an environmental point of view, and resilient to the impacts of climate change, addressing, in particular, two important issues for the challenge of decarbonization, which is highly dependent on the mobility system and that of energy production.
To this end, the course is structured as follows:
1-The course is introduced by the presentation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and its 17 Goals, which are part of a broader action program consisting of 169 targets or milestones associated with them, to be achieved in the environmental, economic, social and institutional fields by 2030. Within the 2030 Agenda, particular attention will be given to Goals 7 and 11.
2-Sustainable mobility
The module provides the knowledge and tools needed to understand the role of mobility for sustainable development by examining: (i) the relevance of the economic, social and environmental pillars of sustainable mobility; (ii) the role of governments and stakeholders in planning and implementing an intelligent, green and efficient transport system; (iii) the need for a multidisciplinary approach to ensure a correct assessment of the problems and solutions to be adopted to promote sustainable development. The skills acquired will allow the evaluation of possible lines of intervention on the territory for freight and passenger transport, identifying any critical issues and suggesting possible solutions
3-Energy and cities
The module addresses some aspects that can influence the different relationship between energy production and energy consumption, especially in the perspective of new models of self-production and consumption needed to manage energy from renewable energy sources (RES) ensuring equity and access for all: the spatial and technological complexity of densely built cities, behavioral changes, usage models based on production/consumption optimization.
4-Innovative Energy Solutions
The module aims to provide students with a technical and integrated vision of contemporary energy challenges, with a particular focus on energy efficiency, the integration of renewable sources and sustainable technologies. The objective is to develop skills to analyze innovative solutions and navigate the global energy landscape with environmental awareness and critical thinking.
