Lezioni di Piano. Il racconto di un’esperienza con le scuole di Palermo

subject

description

The new Sicilian regional law on territorial government introduces a number of novelties in the urban planning debate of recent years. It places 'participation' among the fundamental principles underlying Sicily's spatial planning activities. The Department of Architecture of the University of Palermo has gained an extensive experience in the field of participatory practices, and to maintain this inclination it decided to create a memorandum of understanding with the City of Palermo. The first project activity that the protocol has produced is the "Lessons in Planning" project, which aims to promote the culture of urban planning with students of first and second-grade secondary schools of Palermo, through the development of participatory practices.
