Territory's management and enhancement

The main aim of the course is to provide advanced theoretical interpretative tools for understanding the geographical representation of reality, with reference to cartography and the construction of scenarios for political, administrative and institutional purposes. The lectures are accompanied by other didactic forms (open debates, seminars, discussion with authors on recently published books, group and individual works) useful for bringing the theoretical notions acquired into the actuality and complexity of reality. Therefore, the acquisition of critical and judgment skills on the contextual elements that determine / influence the relationships between geography and representation, as well as the public communication of these skills, become specific objectives of the course. It is realistically expected that at the end of the course the student will have acquired the ability to autonomously reflect on topical issues and great general interest.
