Università Roma Tre

The aim of the module is to provide a broad overview of the Fundamentals of Urban Planning, ranging from the origins of modern urban planning to the complexity of issues related to the governance of the territory of our day, with particular reference to Italian urbanism from the Unity of Italy to today, to move on to the evolution of the skills framework, legislation and planning tools up to the study of some urban plans.

The course will be divided into a cycle of 12 lessons that will address all the issues mentioned above.

Settlement, Environment and Landscape

The SEL course, lasting one year, will develop jointly three components - Settlement, Environment and Landscape - considering their inseparable complementarity for the management of the reality around us. It will be a unitary course, led by lecturers who will perform the different parts along a common path.

The historic component, carried out in the first semester, will face the phenomenon "City" over time, and its manifold representations such as maps, charts, plans.
Students will be introduced to the GIS data coverage model of QGIS and several sample applications.

The landscape training will introduce students to the meaning of landscape, focusing on its constitutive parts and proposing exercises on landscape reading, interpretation and representation. It will introduce the fundamental elements of open space design, with particular reference to the treatment of the soil grading, to the role of vegetation, to the relations with buildings, urban realm and public space.

The urban planning component – in the first semester - will introduce students to the social, environmental and urban issues characterizing Italy since 1945 until today, explaining the mutations occurred in the settlements and infrastructural networks, in the administrative systems, in the matrixes and objectives of the urban planning tools, with particular reference to the seeking of sustainability. In the second semester, the urban planning component will deal with the European contemporary issues of the urban management, offering as a practical assignment a detailed reading and interpretation applied to an area of Rome.
