Taught classes: 48 hours
Term / Semester: 1°

Expected Learning Outcomes

The course aims to provide students with an analytical and cultural key to understanding the phenomenon of climate change, which is mainly reflected in global warming that could accelerate in the coming years. For this reason, both supranational and national bodies and local authorities are implementing adaptation strategies at various scales. Spatial planning, due to its holistic nature, is called upon to take charge of the direct and indirect consequences of climate change and to facilitate the adaptation of settlements and human activities to climate change.

The course attempts to answer three questions:

What are the consequences of climate change on the urban and suburban territory and what can be the contribution of spatial planning?

What are the strategies at regional and local level?

How to act?

Course Structure

The course consists of lectures. There will be remote or in-presence lectures held by lecturers and experts who will offer students their reflections and desires by talking with them and with the lecturer present in the classroom. In the final part of the course an in-depth study of a significant case will be carried out.

Required Prerequisites

Knowledge of the basic elements of urban planning, spatial planning and landscape planning.
