How can collaborative place-making and city regeneration actions reinvent public space through stronger connections between people and where they live?
Urban ecosystem design is closely linked to the stories of a place and its identity, as a way to build inclusive and sustainable collective environments across a variety of communities.
The Master of Arts in Design for Public Spaces. Place-making and city regeneration explores how collective spaces should be designed in a way that is inclusive, sustainable, and respectful of local cultural identities. This approach fits into the vision of DesignXCommons, where design is regarded as a way to bring together the commons and regenerate the planet.

Information to decide
Designing public space can take on many different forms. That may include, for example, set-ups for temporary events, designing spaces and defining strategies or tactics of reactivation, using a multidisciplinary approach. As part of this, all the tools involved in urban planning, architecture, interior and product design are complemented by research into anthropological, sociological and economic patterns that in turn have an impact on identity-building processes in city spaces. This course will be covering innovative approaches to place-making, tactical urbanism and inclusive governance models through collaborative efforts in terms of co-designing with the different communities involved. The aim is indeed to better understand the real needs of the people, while carrying out top-down and bottom-up shared processes of widespread regeneration of collective spaces, from brief setting to operation. Trying your hand at different projects - with the city of Rome as your backdrop - will provide you with a deeper understanding of cultural heritage. You will have the opportunity to work with a variety of local players - from municipalities, associations, businesses and small-scale producers to cultural institutions and schools. This means that you will be able to have a real impact on preservation and socio-environmental regeneration.
