Learning outcomes

The course illustrates the functioning of the urban and territorial planning system and explains the aims and contents of the relative instruments. It deepens the planning system of the Emilia-Romagna Region, that is a frontrunner example of innovative planning tools and approaches in the Italian panorama. The student is therefore able to understand the theoretical and procedural aspects related to the planning activities and, in particular, to discuss development and implementation of the municipal urban planning tool.
