DiAP DEPARTMENT OF ARCHITECTURE AND PLANNING, Milan dipartimento di architettura e pianificazione [b]Expiring date: May 25 2010[/b] - Territorial design and government (gpt) - Urban and architectural design (pau) - Preservation of architectural heritage (cba) - Spatial planning and urban development (spud) The Diap Phd Programs The Ph.D. degree is the highest academic degree awarded. The Doctoral Programs at Milan Polytechnic aim to provide researchers with qualified tools and skills to carry out high level research in universities, public bodies, international institutions, private and service companies. The Department of Architecture and Planning (Diap) is a big Italian interdisciplinary research centre, recognized for its high level research and training activities in the fields of architecture, urban planning, regional and environmental development, preservation of cultural and historic heritage and architectural design. The Diap directly promotes the admission to the XXVI cycle of his 4 doctoral programs in: [b]Territorial Design And Government (Gpt)[/b] Objectives • The formative program assumes that many planners address territorial change not only from a regulatory position, but also proposing and managing actual projects and policies at different scales. • The Phd program is aimed at the improvement of the cultural understanding and the technical toolbox for a proactive planning process able to interpret and master the economical, social, and jurisdictional dimensions of territorial projects and policies for a sustainable built environment. • The interrelation between urban design and projects evaluation, environmental and landscape planning, together with urban governance and real estate development are the foci of the research projects involving the faculty and the Phd students.

The organisation of the program is based upon introductory courses, regarding methodological aspects and core themes, and upon design international workshops. Chair prof.
