AIMS AND LEARNING OUTCOMES

The aim of the course is to provide an approach methodology to carry out urban projects that take into account the current needs of the city in compliance with the feasibility and sustainability criteria.

The course also intends to create a critical sensitivity for the planning of interventions on the territory.

At the end of the course, the student will be able to:

- Analyzing urban plans, from ordinary planning to sector tools;

- Evaluate the priority issues at the urban level (mobility, resilience, ...) in relation to the existing tools of urban planning technique;

- Develop the documents (reports and maps) of an urban project.

The course intends to enhance the acquisition of soft skills: personal and social knowledge, ability to learn to learn, competence in creation and project management.

PREREQUISITES

Being a master's course in the construction-architecture area, the student must have acquired, during the three-year course, the basic knowledge relating to urban planning technique.

This knowledge is assumed to be acquired and constitutes the necessary foundations for understanding the topics of the course and taking the exams.

TEACHING METHODS

The course includes 60 hours of lectures and 60 hours of practical laboratory.

The part of lectures is preparatory to the laboratory with the aim of providing the requirements for the development of the urban project.

The lectures are supplemented by application exercises. The students, divided into groups of two or three, with the support of the teachers, will have to apply the acquired knowledge and at the end they will have to present a report with the results obtained from the research activity. The organization and the dates of the exercises will be communicated directly by the teachers at the beginning of the lessons.

The Laboratory consists in the development of an urban planning project on the agreed theme, referring to parts of cities with specific vocations.

The students, divided into groups of two or three, and with the support of the teachers, will have to create a book in A3 format and two A1 graphic project (the first relating to the state of art of case study, the second relating to the analysis and project phases).

At the end of the workshop, students will have to submit the prepared project documents.

The organization and dates of the laboratory activities will be communicated directly by the teachers at the beginning of the lessons.

The above activities enhance the acquisition of soft skills: personal and social knowledge, ability to learn to learn, competence in creation and project management.
