Learning objectives
The Urban Geography course aims at teaching students new points of view for the analyses of the city. This approach aims at understanding not just the facts, but also the interpretations provided by the residents, according to the hermeneutical paradigm of knowledge. To that end, the course stimulates the students to develop a scientific curiosity towards the geographical areas and the social actors they study (starting from the city and its inhabitants).
Prerequisites and basic notions
Basic geographical knowledges; basic cartographical knowledges and tools taught in the first and second-year course
Program
The course aims to provide students with an understanding of the various facets of geography and urban geography. The goal is to develop and apply basic knowledge of urban geography, understood as a cognitive and interpretative approach to spatial organization, particularly in relation to the different modes, reasons, and forms of urbanization in Italy, Europe, and globally.
Retracing the history of the discipline, we will highlight the mental processes, interdisciplinary relationships, purposes, and objectives through which humans have organized, perceive, and plan the present and future of urban spaces, as well as their polarizations and conflicts.
The goal is to provide interpretative keys for decoding past and present processes at various scales.
