Information
Description
In just over a decade urban resilience has become an instrumental approach for practitioners to plan and design cities under deep uncertainty and navigate complex mega-trends such as climate change, mass-migration, inequality, conflict. This practice-oriented workshop will build on foundational resilience concepts, such as system’ interdependencies, to study the application of influential global resilience methods in cities of contexts as diverse as Ukraine, Zimbabwe, Italy. Students will perform a guided full-cycle resilience planning and design exercise, including a resilience masterplan for a selected city. Students will be challenged to act as multi-disciplinary consultant, thus gaining a prospective view on the skills and competencies required in the urban development sector in modern cities.
