Course Content (Syllabus)
The purpose of the course is to deepen the students' knowledge and understanding of the importance of risks/uncertainties regarding the vulnerability, resilience and sustainability of urban/land systems. This course also introduce an interdisciplinary discussion of the concepts of risk and disasters (natural and man-made) and examines the various management/prevention/response policies and tools. Particular emphasis is given: (α) on the possibilities of spatial planning through preventive and regulatory interventions, (β) on addressing the risks of climate change.
