what is taught?

The undergraduate degree programme in Urban and Regional Planning aims at producing junior urban designers and planners capable of assessing the transformations of today cities, regions and the environment and of working on planning, design and management tools.

 

The primary and “frontier” issues on which the undergraduate degree programme is focused concern: the processes of territorialisation, sustainability and human settlements, energy, climate change and the territory, the role of scenarios in building vision, new forms of plans and urban planning and design projects, strategic environmental assessment, the landscape, information technology and remote sensing in regional governance, participatory processes, planning policy and European Union programming.

 

how is it taught and what is achieved?

The curriculum is organised in seminar and lectures courses dealing with one or more subjects and studio courses on spatial analysis, urban design and regional planning.

 

The studios insist on “learning by doing”, on connecting theory, methodology, research and technical-practical skills as well as identifying and resolving problems through different types of plans, programmes and projects. The studio courses, and the pre- and/or postgraduate internship, are an important step toward the world of work or the pursuit of further study.

 

after the undergraduate degree

Graduates may choose to continue their studies:

- in postgraduate specialisation courses or in the Faculty of Regional Planning’s graduate degree programmes in Urban, Regional and Environmental Planning and Policy (PCTA, which has two tracks, one of which is offered in collaboration with other universities)

or Geographic Information Systems and Remote Sensing (GIS);

- in degree programmes in Italy and abroad, especially in the European countries that are part of the Bologna Process on higher education.

 

Graduates also have the knowledge, abilities and skills to enter the job market, taking on roles of responsibility in the field of urban and regional planning and design and urban and regional policy making, in the public sector or as independent professionals. They are prepared to undertake tasks involving analysis, interpretation and assessment, to manage territorial information and to collaborate on defining plans, programmes and projects. Graduates are qualified to take the Italian licensing exam to enrol in Section B-Planners of the Register of Architects, Planners, Conservationists and Landscape Architects and to practice as a junior planner on their own, in public administrations or private companies.

 

Other fields of interest, for which professional licensing is not necessarily required, include consulting on local participatory processes and sustainable urban development as well as programming, planning and design and fieldwork for supranational institutions and organisations and non-governmental organisations.
