Course Content (Syllabus)
The course covers a wide range of theoretical approaches to regional and urban development by analyzing both the basic concepts of space and site-selection factors, as well as the role of geography in development. The course is divided into three basic modules. The first includes the main theoretical discussions, with particular emphasis on the most recent ones; the second concerns regional / urban / local development policies, while the third deals with a series of specific issues of particular importance for the understanding of the spatial dimensions of the modern world. At the same time, each of the lectures is based on three categories of material: a) Material from the basic textbooks b) Extensive bibliography (mainly international) c) Case studies

Each presentation will be a critical assessment of the existing literature around the subject under consideration
Each postgraduate student must sign in for:
- 2 issues as Rapporteur (1st and 2nd);
- 1 subject as Commentator (Discussant)
At the end of the semester, each postgraduate student will submit the texts of his / her contributions.
The evaluation of weekly contributions (ie the criteria and their relative weight for category (B) of the overall assessment) will be based on:
a) the written texts of the two papers that will be submitted at the end of the semester (60%);
b) the oral presence in the lectures both as a Rapporteur or Commentator and with the general participation in all lectures (40%).
