The course is divided into three thematic routes: 1) Illustration of the theories and design applications of some of the fathers of modern urban planning. 2) The great transformation of Italy from a rural country to an industrial and metropolitan one, and the relative evolution of spatial planning models. 3) The territorialist and patrimonial approach to spatial planning, with particular reference to the urban bioregion.

Learning Objectives
The course aims to introduce students to some of the most significant spatial planning theories; to illustrate the evolution of territorial planning paradigms in Italy in relation to the great transformation in the metropolitan sense of the country; to deepen the patrimonial and bioregional approach in relation to its historical matrices and with some of its design applications.
The course also aims to frame and describe figures, processes and tools in a historical perspective, developing in this key the critical and interpretative abilities of the students.
Finally, the course aims to provide students with some basic tools for reading and understanding territorial plans and to develop their argumentative and expository skills (through discussion seminars on the topics covered).
Prerequisites
The course is designed to address students of different disciplinary backgrounds. Therefore, it is not essential to have a preparation previously acquired on the history of urban planning and on spatial planning methodologies.
Teaching Methods
Lessons are distributed in modules of 4 hours each. In a large part of the teaching sessions, the first part will be dedicated to the frontal lesson, the second to the conduct of seminars in which students will intervene in a programmed manner.
Type of Assessment
Assessment of learning is conducted through an examination interview on the topics dealt with in class. Participation at seminars planned in the course is madatory and also contribute to the final evaluation.
