TRANSITION TERRITORIES OR THE TRANSITION PROJECT

Maria Chiara Tosi, Marta De Marchi, Michela Pace, Università Iuav di Venezia

Designing the transition to greater sustainability is one of the main challenges that many institutions are working on.
There are many areas in which the transition is articulated: housing, agrifood production systems in space, mobility models, production geographies, and finally the environmental transition, linked to the effects of climate change.
In the context of these initiatives aimed at facing the challenge of transition, the role of cities has only recently emerged.

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…
