| Contents | The course illustrates the different approaches to urban project/planning in relation to the various emerging issues, critically illustrating a series of European and American case studies, historically contextualized. In particular, the projects for the city of foundation, urban growth, the ancient centers, the residential district, the greenery, the urban street, the river corridors, the industrial zones. Specific insights regarding objectives, principles, rules, techniques and design devices relating to the theme of the redevelopment/revitalization of the collective space and suburbs of contemporary cities, with particular attention to the requirements inherent to sustainability. |
| Reference texts | Bibliographical references and support materials by the teacher are provided for each lesson |
| Educational objectives | To train: a) ability to analyze and critically interpret the contemporary city to identify its structures and relationships that guide transformations, studying how visions, methods and tools have been built in design practice; b) technical knowledge and skills aimed at the urban project in a sustainable, systemic, integrated and non-sectoral, interscalar, and strategic perspective |
| Prerequisites | Knowledge of basic urban planning concepts Topographical and cartographic skills Skills in the field of representation and communication techniques |
| Teaching methods | the course takes place through: - face-to-face lessons relating to the various topics and case studies, illustrated using specially prepared materials (slides), and accompanied by specific billiographic references - periodic ex tempore classroom exercises on the topics covered in the lectures for checks and self-assessments - collective discussion of research and study materials prepared by students on topics selected by the teacher - discussion in the classroom of topics of particular relevance |
| Learning verification modality | Written exam and oral exam (not mandatory) |
| Extended program | The course illustrates and critically discusses the different approaches to urban project/planning in Europe and the USA from the second half of the eighteenth century to the present, through the examination of case studies illustrating the emerging issues in different social and territorial contexts, and in relation to the different technical cultures and decision systems. Analogies and differences, variants and design invariants are specifically presented, specifically retracing the experiences of European rationalism, its variants and critical reinterpretations during the twentieth century. The plans-projects selected concern: the design of the city of foundation, the urban growth project (the zoning technique and its critical review), the reuse of the old center, the residential (public) neighborhood project, the green project urban; the design of (micro) ecological networks, the redevelopment of the urban road, peri-urban river corridors and production, industrial and commercial areas. Specific insights concern the objectives, principles, rules, techniques and design devices related to the related issues - settlement density, as a quality device, urbanity and contrast to land consumption - functional and social mixité, as a quality of life requirement - the soil project and the redevelopment of the open collective space, in particular the residential road and the greenery, in a reticular perspective - the physical and social revitalization of the suburbs of contemporary cities, with particular attention to the recovery of abandoned areas and infrastructures, the significance of the urban margin, the densification of areas with sparse and shapeless urbanization. |
