The New Climatic Regime (Latour, B. 2015) has overturned all consolidated knowledge. In relation to this issue, urban planning is not only late but also disoriented. The territorial project is called upon to make its contribution to the greatest challenge that humanity has ever had to face: combating climate change. One of the areas that requires the greatest changes is public space. And, in particular, the cycle network which is designed only from a transport point of view. The course, while acknowledging the importance of the transport approach, starts from another conviction: the cycle network is an environmental infrastructure.
This is why the course will investigate the potential interdependence between the cycling network and the management of rainwater in the mid-Adriatic region of Abruzzo. Preliminarily, two observations. The first concerns cycling: in Italy, it is constantly increasing, both in terms of territorial diffusion and turnover. The second: the frequency of urban flooding, resulting from extreme atmospheric phenomena, has been constantly increasing. However, cycling and urban flooding are two issues addressed separately. The first is framed as a contribution to slow mobility. The second is treated as a continuing emergency. The goal is to overcome separateness. And imagine the cycle network as an environmental infrastructure that, in addition to supporting the transit of bicycles, can contribute to a better collection and management of rainwater too, as an alternative to the sewer system. Boston, San Rafael, Melbourne, Philadelphia, Zwolle, Enschede and Copenhagen questioned how to transform water from an agent generating conditions of risk into a strategic resource for urban resilience. Methodologically, the projects and intervention programs will be compared to the: network space, space associated to the network and context space. The comparison aims to provide some lines of action useful for orienting the project of a cycle network as an environmental infrastructure that is capable of triggering ecological regeneration processes.

Contents
The course of Urban Planning concerns a program of multiscalar urban regeneration. More specifically, the course will explore the tools and methods for planning the cycle path network as an environmental infrastructure capable of contributing to the improvement of environmental, ecological and urban performance in terms of supply of infrastructures, services and public relational spaces.

Learning goals
The training course aims to acquire the ability to elaborate a complex urban project, controlling it in its normative and physical morphological aspects, with particular attention to the performances verified in terms of sustainability (environmental, social and economic-administrative feasibility).

Prerequisites
You cannot take the exam in Progettazione Urbanistica if you have not taken the exam in Urbanistica 2.

Didactic methods
The course is divided into lectures, laboratory activities and end-of-course project.
The lectures that will mainly concern the methods of reading, interpretation and planning of the territory at the various scales.
The laboratory activities are subdivided into meetings, exercises (in the classroom and at home) and intermediate checks.
The meetings aim to introduce the student to the innovative aspects of the main mobility planning experiences in Italy and abroad through the voice of the key players (administrators, planners, scholars, etc.) of the experiments.
The exercises pursue the objective of introducing the student to examples of good practices, as well as graphic references.
Intermediate checks will be three and are intended to periodically verify students’ learning. The dates will be agreed in class with the students.
The end-of-course project addresses the design of a bicycle path as an environmental infrastructure that is capable of triggering ecological regeneration processes (Pescara).

Other information
The course takes place in the first semester.
In order to be able to constantly follow the students' learning, the following are planned: individual and collective reviews to be carried out in the classroom; exercises and research to be carried out in the classroom and at home.

Assessment check
The exam will relate on an individual interview based on:
- knowledge of lectures;
- evaluation of intermediate tests;
- end of course project.

Sustainability
The concept of sustainability runs through the entire course. In particular, front lessons, laboratory activities and end-of-course project aim to introduce the student to the understanding of the fact that sustainability has three fundamental pillars (environmental, social, economic) and that in every project they must all be verified at the same time. In relation to the UN 2030 Agenda, reference will be made to Objective no. 11: Make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable.
