Università Roma Tre

The prevailing culture in urban planning relegates the operational and managerial components to a second level, in favor of an ideal approach that is not conditioned by external factors of an economic, institutional or social nature.
At the basis of any transformation of the territorial structures there is a creative process, there is no doubt. But it is also demonstrated that creativity must be integrated into every component of the supply chain that leads from the idea to the realization of a project
The dramatic events that ravage our territory (collapses, floods, degradation ...) and stasis in the urban regeneration of all the great Italian cities (with the exception of Milan) highlight the need to increase the skills of architects also in urban management
The Course aims to achieve an integration between design knowledge and implementation skills, related to economic mechanisms, management systems, social impacts and public opinion.

The structure of the Course
The course will deal with five thematic areas of a general nature:
- the evolution of Italian and European urban and territorial systems in the era of global economy and digital technologies;
- economic and productive mechanisms in urban transformations and the real estate market;
- the management of urban functions and the sustainable use of resources (from mobility management, to energy, to territorial welfare)
- Strategic plans and models of urban regeneration, maintenance of networks and infrastructures, with reference to the metropolitan suburbs
- The enhancement of the territory reputation, attractiveness and sustainable tourism.

From a point of view of the teaching organization, the course is divided into:
- a first part aimed at providing knowledge on the mechanisms of formation of the urban structure and the tools for their management (feasibility, finance, marketing and communication) systems for dimensioning and measuring the demand for architectural complexes and new urban functions;
- a second one for the direct involvement of the students in the simulation of a concrete feasibility study for an already realized urban project
