Course info
The 2nd cycle degree course in Regional, Urban and environmental planning aims at educating professionals with specific competences with respect to the planning, design and management of the processes of regional physical and socio-economic transformation. The professional planner should be able to: - construct methods and techniques for the understanding and interpretation of typical human settlement phenomena; - Develop methods and techniques for the construction of urban plans and large area; - Produce and direct a GIS (Geographic Information System); - Develop regional policies and strategies for local governments, institutions and enterprises. - produce plans at urban, local, scale, as well as general, implementation and industry plans, rules and regulations; - Produce urban and territorial plans with environmental and landscape relevance; - Assess and manage planning processes and actions for their implementation; - Plan and coordinate concerted actions; - Define terms and communication techniques of plans. The course provides in-depth knowledge of urban and regional planning, by offering an educational programme covering the areas of the city and territory through lectures, experimental workshops, seminars, meetings with public officials, stages in public agencies, organizations and private enterprises. The education of the town, territorial and environmental planner takes place through a learning formula that takes into account the experimental application related to the theoretical issues. For this reason, the course includes two town and territorial planning laboratories, a workshop for road infrastructure and two integrated courses. The 1st year workshop has predominantly territorial value, while the 2nd year one is mostly town-related. The 2nd year laboratory provides also an integrated course, named “Regional management engineering”, related to the evaluation. Furthermore, in order to strengthen and extend the knowledge acquired in the first cycle, the course provides specific teachings aiming at investigating issues, methods and practices related to Town Planning and Town and Regional Policies, territorial information systems, Landscape ecology, Energy policies and sustainable mobility policies, and Theories of Planning. Students, in addition, choose elective courses to complete their curriculum.
Regional planners work in the transformations and governance of land, region and environment as self-employees (after national qualification exam and enrolment in the Registrar of Architects – section A, sector “regional planning” , and in high responsibility positions in public, private and third sector institutions and agencies.
For the admission to final examinations, students should have acquired all credits provided by the educational programme. The educational activities related to the preparation of the final examination consist of the preparation of an original dissertation, under the guidance of one or more supervisors (professor or researcher), aiming at ascertaining the level of technical-scientific and professional competence, and of the discussion of the dissertation with respect to possible questions posed by the examining Board. The preparation of the dissertation consists of activities equal to 10-12 credits (as per the course outline); the dissertation must have an interdisciplinary character and it may be prepared, in total or partly, also at other Italian or foreign academic institutions. At the end of the 2nd cycle degree course an examining Board will evaluate candidate's curriculum as well as the dissertation for awarding the 2nd cycle degree, expressing an evaluation for a maximum of 110, with any praise. Dissertations about topics of particular scientific and/or applicative importance might be awarded, with respect to the results, with honours.
