The course delivers the main theoretical/methodological references aimed to define an integrated territory project accordingly with the principles stemming from the adoption of the bioregional paradigm. That with peculiar references to the urban bioregion model and to the related spatial patterns and economical and functional regional organization aimed to self-sustainable local development.

Learning Objectives
The course sets out the knowledges and skills suitable to develop a design approach at the regional scale in such a way to integrate the various disciplines contributions -acquired in the different courses- in order to achieve an unitary territory design framework aimed to self-relied local development and resilient urban regions.
Prerequisites
It is strongly recommended the prior overcoming of the first year laboratory in Urban design
Teaching Methods
Frontal teaching lectures, either with theoretical and practical (e.g. study cases) approach. Interactive design workshop activity in small groups.
Type of Assessment
The evaluation of the students work will be focused on the design results and on the different theoretical issues proposed during the frontal teaching activity.
