The course is aimed at introducing the student to the fields of urban planning, urban and territorial design, stimulating a critical gaze also on the prevalent formal and informal practices of participatory planning. The teaching method adopted is that of mediated frontal lessons, combined with interpretative exercises of urban planning plans, programs and devices, aimed at providing participants with the main technical and conceptual tools. The exam will take place in the form of an oral test on the topics addressed and the results of the exercise, in which the following will be evaluated: the completeness and quality of the personal essay and in particular the ability to summarize the materials, the student's competence in motivate and explain using language relevant to the discipline.

The course is divided into a cycle of lessons divided into two parts, which correspond to thematic and temporal areas with well-defined but consequential outlines. A training course is proposed through the main themes of the discipline, starting from the definitions and theoretical foundations, up to the most recent conceptual and instrumental developments. The first part of a theoretical nature includes lessons on the structural aspects of urban planning: the reading of expanding urban forms starting from European cities, touching on the visions of utopian models, investigating the major themes of the city in the 20th century, up to the «urban question » and the dawn of «climate consciousness» of the Seventies. The second part of the course focuses on the settlement phenomenon in the context of contemporary fragilities, intercepting new paradigms and models to guide the interpretation of territorial phenomena and realities.

Knowledge and understanding: The student will have to demonstrate a clear awareness of the dynamics of transformation of social systems and territories both of the contemporary and of the 20th century, and will be able to express the ability to theoretically and methodologically structure reading and urban planning activities at the urban and territorial scale, orienting themselves on the relationships between plans and programming tools.

Ability to apply knowledge and understanding: The student will have to demonstrate that they possess the fundamental skills for the regulatory interpretation and definition of urban plans on a general scale, and of territorial and sectoral plans, in accordance with the current national and European legislative framework.

The teaching material prepared by the lecturer in addition to recommended textbooks (such as for instance slides, lecture notes, exercises, bibliography) and communications from the lecturer specific to the course can be found inside the Moodle platform › blended.uniurb.it

During the hours of the course, exercise activities are planned on the analysis of national territorial planning for the sector (landscape, basin). The student in the classroom, guided by the teacher, will analyze the contents of the plans, making a comparison between the different regional realities.
