Università Roma Tre

The course addresses urban-scale design topics within the framework of methods established by the new Master Plan (PRG) of the city of Rome, focusing on themes such as: urban regeneration, particularly in public housing neighborhoods; public space design; the integration of climate change mitigation and adaptation goals into urban projects; and the involvement of local communities throughout the various phases of the design process.
The workshop provides elements of urban planning at the scale of operational municipal planning, referencing both the general planning scale and the principles and methods of sustainable urban development.
Study topic: urban regeneration in Rome, considering infrastructure, services, and the ecological network, within the perspective of ecological transition. The work will focus on developing strategies and intervention programs for urban regeneration and for restoring the environmental and landscape values of Rome’s Piani di Zona (I PEEP and II PEEP).
In particular, the proposed interventions will concern selected Piani di Zona in problematic contexts where the “public neighborhood” interacts and contrasts with other urban forms. Special attention will be given to the structural conditions—physical, economic, and social—for the production and renewal of public goods, including a quantitative assessment of infrastructure, services, and standards.
