PROGETTAZIONE URBANISTICA II
Course objectives
URBAN DESIGN II The course provides an examination of new outline of urban problems in the contemporary city and the consequent new learning directions at national and international level, in terms of components, spatial strategies and sequence of the construction plan. This is to identify the principles, actions and the processes of planning to realize functional, figurative and environment reorganization of cities and metropolitan areas. The training objective is realized in mastering the complex addresses of new forms of contemporary planning and design.

Course program
The main objective is to provide basic knowledge on cultural, analytical, methodological and technical-operational levels, in order to control and manage the process of design, construction and implementation of urban planning, in its various forms and styles. The opportunity to critically analyse and simulate the basic steps for the preparation of a planning tool will enable the students to grasp the complexity of the relationship among cultural lines, economic choices, environmental implications and phenomenology of the physical-spatial transformations of the city and its elements.
Main topics of the lessons
0.1 Framework and general concepts
• references to the discipline statute in the modern era: what is Urban Planning, what it is used for, how it was born, in which contexts the role and “missions” are applied as they have evolved over time and space, from tradition to innovation;
• the lexicon of the urban planning project: quick survey of the main general and specific disciplinary terms;
• the actors of the settlement scene, the subjects dialectically interacting to determine the transformation choices of the city.
1. Origins of modern urban planning
• references to the socio-cultural roots in the seasons of the industrial city in the Western countries (18th and 19th centuries); the phenomenology of contemporary post-industrial settlements;
• relationship between urban planning and urban ideologies and models from the 19th to the beginning of 20th century: utopian socialism (Owen, Fourier, Godin), hygienist functionalism (the policies of redevelopment and expansion of the great cities in Europe), historical roots and cultural heritage (Sitte), urbanization theory (Cerdà), cities in evolution (Geddes), morphological-infrastructural innovation (Soria y Mata), the Garden city (Howard, Unwin, De Soissons), the "new industrial city" (Garnier) and so on.
2. Main principles for the "modern" rationalist city and its overcoming
• birth and affirmation of the "Modern city" theory and its implementation. The contribution of the avant-gardes, the Modern Movement and the rationalist city, functionalism, CIAM events, the Charter of Athens, Le Corbusier as urban planner;
• alternative models: the theory of the "Living city" in the "Broadacre" project by F.L.Wright;
• the urbanization phenomena in the post-industrial city and contemporary trends (the metropolitan dimension, the "sprawl" city, the periurban, the topological space, the reticular domain, the space of flows, the "smart city", etc.).
3. Policies, tools and techniques: dimensions, themes and emerging issues
• the technical-regulatory dimension. The evolution of urban planning instruments and the general and implementation municipal plan. From the rational-comprehensive expansion plan to incremental logic, from the isotropic and timeless plan to the asymmetrical and diachronic one, from the "two-speed" tool to the "plan bipartition" (structural and operational) and to the Integrated Program, from hierarchical plans to the evolutionary flexibility of the implementation tools, to the season of Complex Programs;
• focus on the "Urban Project" notion: origin (France), interpretation, polysemy, spatial, economic, social, partnership dimension; the role of the Urban Project from the redevelopment policies to the urban regeneration season; the centrality of the public space system; the Urban Project as it has been conceived in the Rome PRG 2003-08;
• evolutionary lines of the "rational-comprehensive" plan of modernist culture, the declinations in European cultural models, rise, decline and obsolescence. The question of zoning, the dialectics between mono and multi-functionality, the theme (and overcoming?) of urban standards;
• the socio-economic dimension. The Urban Project cycle, the exploration and identification of stakeholders and their involvement. Notes on the issues of participatory democracy, tools and procedures. The themes of housing politics in Italy and in the European context: from the workers' and people's homes to public housing up to social housing. The effects on urban redevelopment and regeneration policies.
• The environmental dimension. The complexity of the Urban Design and its components in the perspective of ecological-environmental sustainability. The construction of continuity and the role of the open space system.
4. Case studies
• birth and evolution of the "Projet Urbain" idea (and the ZAC tool) in France from the 1980s to nowadays. The inter-municipality dimension from the Schéma Directeur d'agglomeration to the SCOT Métropole. Urban project and mobility networks for urban regeneration strategies in Paris, Lyon, Lille, Marseille, Nantes, Bordeaux, Strasbourg.
• The "Urban Innovation Ecosystems" phenomenon and innovative neighborhoods between Europe and North America. The cases of Barcelona @ 22, Boston Innovation District, Roxbury Innovation District, Cambridge Innovation Center and Kendall square, Milan from Expo to innovation district.
