The course is focused on the transpolar geographical analysis of territories in urban and rural spaces, starting from the main theoretical pillars of the discipline and analyzing them in the different analyzed spaces with the aim of deepening the huge transformations occurred in territorial structures of urban and rural spaces, the evolution of "marginal" areas and their reciprocal influences.
Through the theoretical exploration, the case studies analysis, a series of workshops and fieldworks, the course aims at exploring the relationship between landscape and territory by underlining the inherent complexity and the osmotic relations among cities, rural spaces and marginal areas.
The main objective is to provide students with knowledge and skills about the networks and multi-scalar processes of territorial development which connect urban and rural spaces, inserted in a wider global context, as well as exploriring the multidimensional character of sustainability, social frictions included.
