The Workshop was promoted by the Collegio di Pianificazione e Progettazione of the DIST-Politecnico di Torino within the framework of the MIUR 2018-2022 Excellence project, which run in parallel with the ordinary teaching activities, placing itself as an "extra" offer, making use of the teachings of internal and external lecturers at the Politecnico and recognizing 4 university credits for students as free credits. Through a multidisciplinary learning path (theoretical and applicative), it was intended to define both operational methods to produce "new knowledge" in support of territorial governance processes aimed at limiting soil consumption (zero balance), and design methodologies for the public space as a strategic area for integrated policies of urban, ecological-landscape, historical-environmental and architectural regeneration of the contemporary city.
