Environmental Planning and Land Policy

The aim of the course is to provide students with theoretical and operational tools to analyze, interpret and evaluate urban and territorial systems, examined in their environmental context and within the framework of natural and anthropic risks to which they are subjected, with particular attention to rural and extra-urban areas at different scales. Particular attention will be paid to the construction of theoretical and operational tools for analyzing, interpreting and explaining phenomena and processes concerning environmental and landscape resources in territorial government processes, experimenting techniques in application cases at different scales.

At the end of the educational path, the student will acquire a critical approach to the urban project to analyze, interpret and evaluate urban and territorial systems and assess the sustainability of development processes with respect to environmental systems. The student will develop operational skills in the field of territorial, environmental and landscape planning and design in order to intervene in planning processes and develop critical skills that will allow him to make explicit the decision-making processes that govern the effects of planning choices on the evolution of territorial systems and environmental issues to the public and operators.
