Social planning for sustainability, innovation, and gender inclusion

The learning aims to give the overall knowledge to understand the points of contact between digital transformation and sustainability. Furthermore, it will give the student all the skills that will help him to develop a systemic planning approach. It will be oriented to the making of urban platforms in a multi-stakeholder logic that will be embraced as an instrument of planning and development based on the logic of digital sustainability. Specific objectives The course offers a training process, oriented to give the student all the necessary knowledge and skills both theoretical and practical related to the whole urban platform design process. The process will be oriented to sustainability, with particular reference to the systemic role of digital technology both seen as an instrument to the achievement of the sustainability goals, and as the main context to sustainable development from an environmental, social, and economic point of view. Dublin descriptor 1: this teaching aims at giving the students the necessary knowledge to hold responsibility roles concerning urban planning oriented to digital sustainability, in the Public Sphere (institutions, municipality, etc.), and also in the private sphere (factories, and service sector.) Dublin descriptor 2: particular focus is given to the development of specific skills necessary to analyse and comprehend – with specific reference to SDG11 (Make cities inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable)- the relationships between sustainability and digital technology, in order to develop the necessary planning skills to design multi-stakeholder-like urban platforms. Dublin descriptor 3: The workshop is oriented towards a designing dimension. The objective is thus the development of practical, critical, and judgment skills related to the subjects of the course. Dublin descriptor 4: it is necessary to work in an interdisciplinary climate, that is why the main objective is to give the students the relational skills to communicate with the most heterogeneous targets. Dublin descriptor 5: The themes connected to these subjects evolve with such fastness that the fundamental goal is to enable the attendees to keep updated autonomously once fulfilled the study. This goal will be reached by giving them the fundamental bibliographic reference, but also the main links to all the structures, research centres, and experts of the sector. The specific activities of the workshop will also enable the attendees to come into contact with the landmark links of the sector.
