The Conference develops will investigate the relationship between the University and the urban reference systems from three perspectives. The first one is internal. It concerns how a sustainable campus is planned and which models of spatial, environmental, technological and energy structure the campus can have. A second point of view is internal and investigates the synergies between universities and the urban system in terms of the ability to trigger complex processes of regeneration of urban fabrics and the creation of new economies. The third perspective is transversal and develops the University’s relationship with institutions, bodies, associations, companies, businesses and its impact on the economic-social and territorial aspects.

The event is organized in collaboration with RUS – Rete delle Università per lo Sviluppo Sostenibile as part of the pre-festival of ASVIS – Alleanza per lo Sviluppo Sostenibile

Through the localization of offices and laboratories, universities play a key role in the regeneration of degraded areas of cities, not only from the point of view of the requalification of the existing building and architectural heritage, but also in terms of improving social distress, activating mechanisms of enhancement of cultural and environmental resources, triggering of virtuous economic processes and participation of the inhabitants in the governance of the territory.
