Living in the City. Public Space and Community Services.The course will explore the neighborhood scale and the urban and social dimension of community services and public housing.In this direction, the renewed dimension of public space, urban facilities, and services are—in the European tradition, especially the Italian one—an important cultural identity for the idea of the city and its inhabitants.At the heart of this cultural reasoning is still the figure of the human being, strongly connected to the quality of living (from the home to the city).Case studies:the Via Tavo neighborhood in Pescara (Scientific agreement with the Municipality of Pescara and Ater Pescara) – Workshop;the Via Rimini neighborhood in Montesilvano (Scientific agreement with the Municipality of Montesilvano and Ater Pescara) – Workshop.
