PLANNING OF THE TERRITORY AND LANDSCAPE

Course objectives

The aim of the Course is to strengthen the knowledge already acquired in the previous Course of Fundamentals OF URBAN PLANNING/ TOWN PLANNING LEGISLATION AND TERRITORIAL GOVERNEMENT in order to fully develop the ability to define a landscape and territorial project at large area scale. Specific attention will be given to the deepening of the analytical dimensions and intervention tools related to the most relevant environmental and landscape challenges. Therefore, in the first part of the course, adequate tools for tackling this level of knowledge (also through the case-studies and projects of existing territories) will be provided. In the second part, students will do design practice by using the acquired knowledge for designing and developing a territorial or landscape project. At the end of the Course, students will be able to apply the theoretical knowledge acquired according to some practical skills related to the design and transformation at the territory and landscape scale. Moreover, within this Course, some cross-cutting skills will be enhanced through activities connecting the different cultural or scientific areas, such as: - critical and judgemental skills about plans and projects of intervention at the territorial and landscape scale, in relation to requested written and/or oral observations and comments; - capacity to communicate projects and proposals of intervention for specific territorial and environmental contexts; - ability to complete the study in an autonomous way during one's professional life, by experimenting different strategies of territorial and landscape planning.

Course program
The course is articulated in a theoretical part followed by an applied experience. Lessons follow a systemic, multi-scalar and trans-disciplinary approach to territory that takes into account both the tangible and intangible features of the landscape. The theoretical part is articulated into the following lines of training contributions: • provide a theoretical framework on different methods of territorial reading (multi-disciplinary and multi-scalar) and on the main issues in landscape planning; • an interpretative and reading method of territorial issues, focused on bring out the landscape features, is widely explained and then applied on a case study area. This method, which organizes the knowledges in a two dimensions matrix, takes into account the“ reading of the physical and human environment” (tangible features) as well as the "perception of physical and human environment" (intangible features) particularly useful for the landscape actions; • explanation of the features of the main operational tools for urban regeneration programs; • provide basic knowledge elements for the use of GIS systems in the drawn up of thematic maps. The applied experience will deal with the theme of urban regeneration. The study case will be located in an urban area characterized by settlements with diversified features: from high density settlements to low density settlements in dispersion areas. In order to capture practical effects of the theoretical frameworks a seminarial work, carried out in the classroom, is organized. The aim is to acquire the capacity of a synthetic interpretation of the different topics discussed. The detailed program and the teaching support materials will be published, at the beginning of the lessons, in the Sapienza E-learning platform.

Course program
The course aims to provide an adequate knowledge of the policies, strategies and tools for housing, within the national and international regulatory framework, with particular reference to urban regeneration strategies. Regeneration strategies concern not only physical-morphological redevelopment interventions, but also projects aimed at providing an integrated response to the demands of environmental regeneration, socio-economic revitalization and cultural enhancement, according to principles of sustainability and resilience to environmental and socio-economic changes. Those strategies constitute the main point of reference for intervention in the contemporary city and, in particular, in the public housing settlements, pursuing the enhancement of the common goods, on which the structure and image of the city will be re-founded, the quality of the urban environment and the collective use of spaces. In this framework, the course will refer to best practices characterized by disciplinary innovation, contextualised in the specific geographical contexts and time, emblematic in terms of ecological-environmental sustainability, economic-financial feasibility and social inclusion. This best practices pursuit high levels of urban quality, through the construction of the public city and the enhancement of the common goods. Furthermore, through a sperimentation activity, the course aims to verify the theoretical, methodological and operational references acquired.
Prerequisites
The student, at the beginning of the Course, must have acquired the main urban planning theoretical concept, as well as main legislative references concerning the tools of Territorial Governance.

The experimentation activity Theme of the experimentation activity is the urban regeneration of an area of the Roman municipal territory characterized by the presence of public residential settlements with high levels of social, morphological, functional and environmental conditions of marginality. The experimentation activity is based on a methodological reference structure which, in coherence with the theoretical lessons and the operational communications, set up a two-tier process, and subsequent analysis and planning phases: 1 Level - The Local Plan - Local Plan: The structural components of the territory and the urban planning framework 2 Level - The Integrated Program - Analysis - Assessment and goals - Integrated Program Each phase requires the elaboration of specific documents and thematic maps according to a systemic approach (environmental system, morphological settlement system and system of services and infrastructures, planning system). Lessons and communications Theoretical lessons are aimed at defining the framework of policies, strategies and tools of Territorial Government, with particular reference to the theme of housing, also through the deepening of some emblematic urban planning cases, in Italy and in Europe, in particular the Masterplan of Rome (2008), taken as a reference also for the experimentation activity. The theoretical lessons deepen the following themes, within the most innovative disciplinary debate: - The different disciplinary perspectives (structural, morphological, ecological-environmental) for the analysis and planning of the contemporary city; - The contemporary city. The principles, strategies, tools and innovative implementation mechanisms of urban planning to pursue the urban regeneration strategy; - The public city. The construction of an urban framework in a structural, morphological and ecological-environmental perspective; - Policies, strategies and tools for housing. Cases and experiences. An operational communication anticipate the construction of the maps within the experimentation activities.
