The course aims to:

in terms of population density (decreasing everywhere) and built volumes;
in proportion with collective spaces.
Operate a guided exercise on the theme of urban regeneration - which we will understand in a synthetic way as the functional enhancement of urban areas, degraded or obsolete, through interventions of social, economic, environmental and physical reactivation.
