D1. Knowledge and understanding.
To develop knowledge and skills on:
- theories and ideas of cities, design and planning experiences, in Italy and abroad;
- reading, representation and interpretation of urban and territorial structures, of environment and landscape;
- reading, representation and interpretation of historical processes and current trends; of roles and practices of institutional actors, subjects and social groups;
- design and regulatory contents of urban and territorial planning tools, of landscape and environmental plans and projects; of policies for the government of the territory; of integrated programs and projects for the regeneration and reuse of existing assets, with a view to adaptation to socio-economic and environmental-climatic mutations.

D2. Applying knowledge and understanding.
To develop knowledge and skills on:
- critical evaluation of the use conditions of different theories and techniques of design and planning;
- identification of fields of intervention at different scales, recognition of their criticalities and potentials according to objectives of conservation, regeneration and urban and territorial transformation;
- construction of planning and design proposals for specific urban and territorial areas, applying in an integrated manner techniques that are appropriate to the different contexts.

D3. Making judgments.
To develop the ability to autonomously integrate the inputs from a variety of surveys and analyses, and to formulate interpretations of specific territorial situations.
To develop the ability to autonomously identify actions and priorities for projects of spatial transformation.

D4. Communication skills.
To develop the ability to describe and argue acquired knowledge and project proposals, using different communication languages and tools: verbal and public presentations (through the use of a variety supports, from power point, to videos and models); drafting of project posters and reports.

D5. Learning skills.
To develop the skills necessary to build processes of survey and interpretation aimed at drawing urban design and planning tools.

In order to attend the “Urban regeneration and urban planning” Laboratory and the Course “Urban and territorial regeneration techniques and processes”, and to take the exam, it is necessary to have already passed the examination of the first Urban Planning Laboratory held at the second year of the course of studies (Laboratory for the design of the contemporary city).
The knowledge and the skills that are required to follow with profit the “Urban regeneration and urban planning” Laboratory therefore refer to those developed in the first Urban Planning Laboratory.

The activities of the “Urban and territorial regeneration techniques and processes” Course will integrate with those of the “Plans and projects for reusing the existing city” Course, with the aim to offer the necessary teaching support to the design exercises to develop during the “Urban regeneration and urban planning” Laboratory. In particular, the lessons of the Course focus on the description and critical reading of: - large scale and urban scale, general and sector planning and design tools, specifically referred to the issues of urban regeneration, housing and welfare spaces, with the aim to highlight both their normative references, and their technical contents (standard, zoning, territorial indexes, building and urban planning parameters); - national and international experiences of planning and urban design, with the aim to critically analyze not only their final results, but also the complex processes that led to their construction and approval/implementation. In addition to the lessons, the Course contributes to the activities of the Laboratory offering students a design exercise. The project areas cover an urban sector of the city of Trieste.

The activities of the “Urban and territorial regeneration techniques and processes” Course will integrate with those of the “Plans and projects for reusing the existing city” Course, with the aim to offer the necessary teaching support to the design exercises to develop during the “Urban regeneration and urban planning” Laboratory. In particular, the lessons of the Course focus on the description and critical reading of: - large scale and urban scale, general and sector planning and design tools, specifically referred to the issues of urban regeneration, housing and welfare spaces, with the aim to highlight both their normative references, and their technical contents (standard, zoning, territorial indexes, building and urban planning parameters); - national and international experiences of planning and urban design, with the aim to critically analyze not only their final results, but also the complex processes that led to their construction and approval/implementation. In addition to the lessons, the Course contributes to the activities of the Laboratory offering students a design exercise. The project areas cover an urban sector of the city of Trieste.

The Course offers a variety of teaching contributions to the activities of the “Urban regeneration and urban planning” Laboratory:

- theoretical lessons held by the professor;

- seminars organized with the contribution of external scholars and professionals;

- guided surveys to the areas identified as the contexts of the project exercises;

- support for the carrying out of the three phases of the design exercise, as described in the programme of the “Urban regeneration and urban planning” Laboratory (PHASE 1. Drawing of a spatial masterplan and of design strategies – group work of maximum 10 students; PHASE 2. Development of urban design solutions for specific areas of the masterplan – group work of maximum 2-3 students; PHASE 3. Intensive design workshop aimed at supporting the students in the improvement of the project proposals developed during the Laboratory).

In general terms, importance is given to classroom work, to discussion among students and between them and the teaching staff in order to foster collaborative and critical learning through the design practice.

All lessons and information are provided through email and the MS Teams platform.

The procedures for verifying the learning achieved through the Course are among those identified for the final examination of the “Urban regeneration and urban planning” Laboratory (the exam will be unique for the whole Laboratory). In particular, each student must: - have attended the lectures and seminars of the Course; - have participated in individual and collective reviews of the project work (PHASES 1 and 2); - have participated in the final intensive design workshop (PHASE 3); - have carried out the required project activities within the prescribed time and manner (4 A1 project posters; 1 project model; 1 A3 book on the project); - have presented an oral critical reading of one book identified with the professors from the bibliography (the general one and/or the specific bibliographies that will be given at the end of each lesson/seminar). The exam consists of: - individual interview both on the issues addressed in the lectures of the two courses (“Plans and projects for reusing the existing city”, “Urban and territorial regeneration techniques and processes”), and on the book read by each student; - a panel discussion on the project work developed by the group of students. The final evaluation is unique (for the Laboratory and for the two courses it is composed by) and takes into account the overall work done by the student throughout the Laboratory, the active participation in the lessons and in the activities organized by the two courses and the Laboratory as a whole, the quality of the required project work, the level of preparation and the critical reading ability of the texts brought to the final exam. Each student is scored in the examination using a grade expressed in thirtieths, calculated based on the average scores achieved in the individual interview and the discussion on the group design exercise. To pass the exam (18/30), each student must demonstrate sufficient knowledge of all topics covered in the exam (interview on the issues of the two courses and design exercise). To achieve the highest mark (30/30 cum laude), the student must demonstrate excellent knowledge of all the topics covered by the two courses constituting the laboratory and have performed excellently on the group design exercise.

This Course explores topics that are closely related to one or more of the goals of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development of the
United Nations (in particular, goals 10, 11).
