Objectives

The Laboratory training course aims to provide the student with:
• the main methodological-applicative references about mobility planning with a focus on the relationship between academic and urban mobility;
• the ability to read and interpret the case study with a focus on its morphological, environmental and economical aspects;
• the ability to develop an operational proposal for a cycle path by evaluating its physical-morphological and sustainability aspects;

Contents

The Laboratory of Sustainable Mobility will explore the results and the basic knowledge acquired during the Course of Sustainable Mobility held in the first semester by the proff. Matteo di Venosa and Antonio Clemente.
The topic of the Laboratory coincides with a applicative experience of integrated design (Icar 21-Icar 12) that assumes the system of urban and metropolitan mobility as a value of sustainability of the relationship between university and city.
With reference to the of Pescara-Chieti metropolitan area, the theme has its own specificity and relevance
The University G. d'Annunzio of Chieti-Pescara is a polycentric territorial system that is poorly interconnected with the metropolitan public transport networks of the Pescara Valley and the Mid-Adriatic coast.
Moreover, in the space between two University Campuses of Pescara and Chieti there isn’t integrated mobility offer able to promote better accessibility to the two higher education poles and, consequently, their stronger functional and spatial interrelation. The inefficiency of transport interconnections affects the quality of the relationship between the University and the territory and, more generally, the competitiveness of the Chieti-Pescara University system. The theme of metropolitan and urban mobility interconnected with the respective university poles of Pescara-Chieti requires a tran-scalar and multidisciplinary approach. The key word is “integration” of the public politicies: mobility and trasportation, energy, environmental, research and technological innovation.
The integrated Laboratory (proff. Matteo di Venosa Icar 21- Luciana Mastrolonardo Icar 12) will identify strategies and design scenarios that qualify the relationship between university and each urban contexts.
The general objective is to plan the mobility networks in a sustainable and intermodal key, to improve the quality of public space associated with mobility networks, to reduce the vulnerability factors of urban contexts.

Extended Syllabus

The Sustainable Mobility Laboratory will deepen the results and basic knowledge acquired during the Sustainable Mobility Course held in the first semester by professors Matteo di Venosa and Antonio Clemente. The theme of the Laboratory is the development of an integrated (Icar 21-Icar 12) and multiscalar design process, which considers the urban and metropolitan mobility system as a value for sustainability in the relationship between the university and the city. This theme has its specificity and relevance in the Pescara-Chieti metropolitan area. The University G. d'Annunzio of Chieti-Pescara is a polycentric territorial system poorly interconnected with the metropolitan public transport networks of the Pescara Valley and the Adriatic coast. Furthermore, there is no integrated mobility offer between the two University Campuses of Pescara and Chieti, capable of promoting better accessibility to the two higher education poles and, consequently, their stronger functional and spatial interrelation. The inefficiency of transport interconnections affects the quality of the relationship between the University, the city, and the territory, and more generally, the competitiveness of the University system of Chieti-Pescara. The theme of interconnected metropolitan and urban mobility with the respective university poles of Chieti and Pescara requires a cross-sectional and multidisciplinary approach capable of integrating public policies on mobility, energy and the environment, research, and technological innovation. The integrated Laboratory (professors Matteo di Venosa Icar 21- Luciana Mastrolonardo Icar 12) will identify strategies and design scenarios capable of qualifying the relationship between university poles and their urban contexts. The general objective is to reorganize mobility networks sustainably and intermodally, improve the quality of public space associated with mobility networks, and reduce the vulnerability factors of urban contexts.

Reference Texts:
During the Laboratory, students will be provided with examples and reference texts.

Educational Objectives:
The educational path of the Laboratory aims to provide students with:

The main methodological-applicative references on mobility planning, with particular attention to the relationship between urban and academic mobility.
The ability to read and interpret the intervention context referring to its morphological, environmental, and economic components.
The ability to qualify an integrated planning and design process aimed at the sustainable reorganization of mobility networks in the intervention context.
The ability to choose the most appropriate methods to address complex problems.
Teaching Methods:
The Sustainable Mobility Laboratory will be conducted by professors Matteo di Venosa (ICAR 21) and Luciana Mastrolonardo (ICAR 12), who will coordinate the didactic program and exercises. The Laboratory involves a collaborative learning method, which includes meetings and practical activities. Meetings are aimed at familiarizing students with the innovative aspects of the main mobility planning experiences in Italy and abroad through the voices of the protagonists (administrators, designers, scholars, etc.) of the experiments. The practical activity coincides with a design exercise related to mobility planning between universities and cities in the urban contexts of Chieti and Pescara.

Additional Information:
The Laboratory takes place in the second semester. In order to constantly monitor students' learning, individual and collective revisions to be carried out in the classroom are foreseen; exercises and research to be carried out in the classroom and at home.

Methods of Learning Verification:
The final exam focuses on verifying the practical activity.

Sustainability:
The concept of sustainability runs through the entire Laboratory. In particular, the practical activity course aims to introduce students to the understanding that sustainability has three fundamental pillars (environmental, social, economic) and that all three must be verified simultaneously in every project. With reference to the UN's Agenda 2030, reference will be made to Goal No. 11: Make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient, and sustainable.

Agenda 2030 for Sustainable Development:

Goal 4: Ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all.
Goal 7: Ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable, and modern energy for all.
Goal 11: Make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient, and sustainable.
Goal 13: Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts. Friday 23.02 > Discussion of the works of the Sustainable Mobility Course – first semester > critical issues, opportunities, contextual analysis

Teaching Methods

The Laboratory of Susainable Mobility will be held by Professors Matteo di Venosa and Luciana Mastrolonardo who will develop the didactic program and exercises.
The Laboratory provides for a collaborative learning way of work including meetings and application activities.
The frontal lessons will mainly concern the ways of reading, interpreting and planning sustainable mobility with particular reference to the cycle network and its interaction with the territory at different scales.
The meetings aim to introduce the student to the innovative aspects of the main mobility planning experiences in Italy and abroad through the voice of the key players (administrators, planners, scholars, etc.) of the experiments.
The application activity coincides with a design exercise relating to the planning of mobility between University and city in the context of Pescara and Chieti. The meetings will cover topics and methods and will involve
- Local stakeholders and administrators
- Lecturers and experts from other disciplines (system design, gaming, theory of change, behavioural economics)

Evaluation methods

Verification of learning:

The final exam concerns on the verification of application activity.

Contacts/More Information

The Laboratory takes place in the second semester.
In order to be able to constantly follow the students' learning, the following are planned: individual and collective reviews to be carried out in the classroom; exercises and research to be carried out in the classroom and at home.
