The international research group aims to provide multidisciplinary research and studies on innovative issues within the “City in Change” and its cultural heritage (tangible and intangible).
The research methodologies will address theory and application in urban context of inner and outer areas in order to identify new approaches of intervention, based on ecological and sustainable principles.
The way of thinking will define new urban models for new urban scenarios in different European contexts.
Aims
- To define an innovative research in European Partnership and multidisciplinary
- To provide an international debate for knowledge, education and formation on Cities in Change, sharing ecological and sustainable design issues
- To explore the values of cultural heritage and its transformation
- To put “fixed points” in preserving, regenerating and developing tangible and intangible cultural heritage
- Masterplanning process in sensitive urban contexts and urban spaces and places
