This course will cover theoretical, practical and applied aspects of regional studies, territorial planning, urban economy and social structures, as well as short and long term transformations. The theoretical section will be divided into two parts: (1) introduction to basic concepts including: urban planning, urban economic studies, regional studies, territorial analysis and planning, the relationship between memory and design and (2) analysis of the quality of urban spaces and of its determining features. The applied section of the course serves to illustrate the use of statistical data and geographic information systems (GIS) for a territorial analysis of the different components of urban quality within this workshop’s field of studies.
teacher profile teaching materials
The course will begin by introducing the basic concepts and discussing a number of issues relating to the relationship between cities and quality of life. Existing studies on quality of life at different territorial and administrative levels will also be examined, along with their respective theoretical approaches and indicator systems.
Next, with specific reference to the subject areas, we shall examine the indicators suitable for measuring levels of economic and social well-being and environmental quality.
Depending on the availability of data, a set of information that can be compared over time will be compiled.
The course will place an emphasis on practical application. Students will acquire a basic understanding of database construction and management, as well as spatial analysis and statistics. Introductory GIS lessons will be provided to prepare students for processing and presenting the results of the practical exercise.
Databases and additional materials will be made available to students during the course.

Programme
The course focuses on analysing the measures that define quality of life in an urban context. Quality indicators will be analysed in detail, taking into account the complex interrelationships between the various well-being dimensions (economic, social, environmental). The case study will involve the analysis of a number of urban areas within the Municipality of Rome characterised by conditions of social and economic marginalisation. The challenges will be analysed, and the needs and potential resources required to address them will be identified.The course will begin by introducing the basic concepts and discussing a number of issues relating to the relationship between cities and quality of life. Existing studies on quality of life at different territorial and administrative levels will also be examined, along with their respective theoretical approaches and indicator systems.
Next, with specific reference to the subject areas, we shall examine the indicators suitable for measuring levels of economic and social well-being and environmental quality.
Depending on the availability of data, a set of information that can be compared over time will be compiled.
