Learning outcomes

At the end of the course the student is able to orientate himself/herself in the discipline of the government of the territory and of the landscape/environmental protection and knows the contents of the main laws on the subject and the functioning of the system of competences in the field of territory, landscape and environment among the various levels of the Public Administration, the constraints and the implementation procedures of the urban planning instrument, the basic elements of the building regulations. In particular, at the end of the course the student is able to identify and interpret the prescriptions to which an intervention of building or territorial transformation must adhere, in relation to what is established by the regulations and plans.

Course contents

The course aims at providing students with the tools for the knowledge of the urban planning discipline and of the landscape-environmental protection, not separated from the principles of the "city and territory culture" that preside over the correct urban, territorial and landscape planning. The course maintains a unitary vision between the object of planning (city, territory, landscape, environment) and the instruments that aim at its transformation in the historical-geographical continuity, and is therefore structured in several themes: principles of urban and territorial culture; analysis of the discipline of urban, territorial and landscape-environmental regulations, with hints at the legislative evolution; analysis of plans and projects of exemplary value, with openings on the international scene.

Legislation, plans and projects: town planning in Italian legislation (general regulatory plan, municipal structural plan, urban regulations, etc.); detailed executive plans for historical city cores; land and regional planning; European landscape convention, the Cultural Heritage and Landscape Code and landscape planning; national/regional parks plans; environment code and environmental assessment; public housing; "river contracts" in Europe; agricultural-urban parks; incremental and proactive protection of "territorial heritage", transmission of skills and knowledge, memorial and symbolic values (atlases, manuals for recovery, guidelines, "chartes architecturales et paysagères", "Ensembleschutz", figurative norms and new ways of regulating environmental, territorial and landscape transformations).

City and territory culture: city and environmental relations; geographic-physical and geographic-human interpretation of regional landscapes; peninsular and European agrarian landscapes; analysis of historical urban and territorial patterns; typological analysis in town planning; foundation rites in the ancient city; long-term settlement processes; utopian models of city and territory; the breakdown of environmental balances and the birth of town planning; the valley section; the contribution of local knowledge and popular action in planning and design.
