Objectives

The Territory Forums aim to create spaces for debate and collective construction of knowledge around pressing issues associated with policies, practices and processes of contemporary urbanization, with a view to providing students with operational tools for analysis and action in the territory.

The Territory - Environment Forum will focus on the discussion of topics associated with biophysical structures, environmental sustainability, climate management, ecosystem services, ecological structures and the role of non-built elements in the organization of urbanization and landscape. It is intended to explore urban planning and design practices more capable of responding to the increasingly pressing challenges of environmental sustainability and climate change, as well as, more generally, responding to the need to act in territories of extensive occupation where the structuring of the territory can no longer be dependent on building, which is a minority there.

In this sense, the Territory - Environment Forum will seek to:

* Understand and discuss existing and latent environmental systems and their structuring role in landscape organization, in topological, functional, morphological and cultural terms.

* Identify, explore and debate regulatory policies, planning instruments and management and intervention practices in the territory, in their relationship with environmental systems. Particular attention will be given to the way in which the emergence of new challenges associated with environmental sustainability and climate change have been altering these policies, instruments and practices. New ways of acting that these amendments call for will be explored and debated.

* Explore and discuss planning, management and intervention practices at a local scale, in the search for operational ways of acting in contemporary territories that take environmental systems and non-built elements as structuring parts of the organization of territories.

* Clarify the conditions of relevance of the terms of urban and territorial cohesion, and ways of combining spatial systems in the face of differentiated contexts and often unpredictable dynamics, namely with regard to social and significant conformities.

* Assess the contingent nature of urban planning, by observing how the project recognizes and represents the physical and social reality that it intends to change.

Given the nature of the course, focused on continuous training and the updating of knowledge and instruments of technicians, the Forum of the Territory - Environment will have, in each new edition of the course, a specific theme, aiming to cover, in great depth, the main emerging issues, both in the academic debate and, above all, in urban design and planning practices.

Learning outcomes and competences

The Territory - Environment Forum aims to include participants in current debates around environmental systems and their relationship with urbanization dynamics, offering them operational tools to act within the framework of planning, management and project practices, which are capable of respond to the challenges that are imposed today:

Above all, it is intended that the Forum of the Territory - Environment can create the space for sharing and debate with a view to deepening the critical judgment and operational tools of the participants, as well as the evolution of scientific knowledge on the topics covered.

Working method

Presencial

Program

The program of thematic sessions and debates of the Forum of the Territory-Environment, guided by the teachers and with the participation of guests, will be established in accordance with the objectives defined above, and will be confirmed in due course together with the course calendar - 7 blocks of 4 hours plus 2 hours in the evaluation period.
