The City of Turin has officially become one of the 100 \u201cClimate-Neutral and Smart Cities by 2030\u201d, a candidate to become an important hub of experimentation and innovation about climate matters at a European level. \nTaking this challenge as a starting point, the Politecnico di Torino has entrusted\u00a0<\/em>FUL<\/em>L\u00a0with the design and delivery of the course\u00a0\u201cCity of the Future \u2013 Smart Solutions and Contemporary Approaches\u201d<\/strong>, aimed at students of the \u201cIntraprendenti\u201d pathway selected on the basis of merit requirements.<\/em><\/p>\n\n

The course aims to prepare students for local and global challenges by reflecting on the actions needed to make the cities of the future more equitable and sustainable through technological and social innovation. \nThe economic wellbeing and quality of life of more than half of the world\u2019s population depend on urban and metropolitan areas, the ability to balance growth and innovation in urban areas with social needs and the mitigation of environmental risks and social inequalities, and the concern to protect and promote tangible and intangible cultural heritage for future development.<\/em><\/p>\n\n

In this context, the teaching proposes an interdisciplinary approach to the most pressing urban issues, such as: mobility, energy consumption, the water cycle, digital infrastructure, the fight against economic and social inequalities, the regeneration of economic and social inequalities, the regeneration of urban spaces through the ability to reuse the material and immaterial heritage embedded in urban forms and landscapes. \nMethods, technologies and best practices in the development of applications for smart mobility through the internet of things, climate control and zero energy districts in the urban environment, energy communities, ecosystem services for resilient and sustainable cities through an eco-hydrological approach, new tools for representing the city and city data, methods for assessing the socio-economic impact of policies on the future of urban populations are explored. \nEach topic is addressed by combining a theoretical framework with laboratory and application activities related to the Turin context.<\/em><\/p>\n\n

The lectures include the participation of lecturers affiliated with the\u00a0<\/em>FUL<\/em>L\u00a0centre and external guests, and will explore in detail the research conducted both within the Interdepartmental Centre of the Politecnico di Torino and internationally, success stories, and the analysis of some experiments in pilot cities. \nThe disciplinary areas involved are urban studies, planning and architecture, energy, environmental, network and electronic engineering, and geomatics. \nThe first edition of the course ran from November 2022 to June 2023. The inaugural lecture was delivered by Chiara Foglietta, Councillor of the City of Turin for Ecological and Digital Transition, Innovation, Mobility and Transport.<\/em><\/p>\n\n

The third edition is underway for 2024\/25.<\/em><\/p>\n\n
