The module proposes territorial governance as a process that requires the adoption of inclusive dynamics of the various social actors in territorial policies. Assuming the spatiality of the contemporary world as a constitutive element of social phenomena, the module provides the student with the interpretative tools to understand the social and political relevance of geography, as well as the importance of participatory methodologies that it proposes to bring out the identities of the various members of society. In particular, we provide knowledge on territoriality, spatial justice, participation and territorial governance, focusing on the role of participatory mapping in the conveyance of the territorial knowledge of inhabitants. The course offers insights related to both urban territories and environmental protection contexts on a national and international scale.
The course will be held in the second sub-period
