MS in Urban
planning for transition
studying Urban Planning in Venice means entering the tradition of the
first school in Italy that established a master’s degree programme in
this field, in 1970.
Today’s
world demands a greater awareness of environmental and social issues, with a
primary focus on urban resilience. Iuav MS
programme in Urban Planning for Transition offers a new vision of urban
transition and innovation that considers cities and cultural heritage as common
goods to be preserved despite global change.
Students
can explore both theoretical and practical aspects thanks to the collaboration
with local and international organisations, to investigate new challenges
related to sustainability, climate change, urban metabolism, disaster recovery
planning and post-disaster rebuilding.
Students
can also spend an international mobility
period in one of the many partner universities in Europe, thanks to the Erasmus+ scholarship programme.
Double
degree opportunities are also available: by studying 2/3 semesters
in a partner university, students can obtain a double degree issued both by Iuav and the partner university.
Partner
universities for the double degree programmes are Tongji University (Shanghai -
China) and University of Reims-Champagne Ardenne
(Reims - France).
