Architecture - Urban Regeneration is a two-year master's program taught in English at Università degli Studi di Roma "La Sapienza" in Roma, Italy. Urban regeneration is a branch of architecture and urban design concerned with the renewal of existing urban areas, particularly districts that have become underused, deteriorated, or disconnected from the surrounding city. Coursework in this field typically combines architectural design studio work with urban planning theory, examining how buildings, streets, and public spaces can be reorganized to improve the social, economic, and environmental performance of a neighborhood. Students study the history and theory of urban development, exploring how cities have grown and changed over time and how past regeneration efforts have succeeded or failed. Technical topics often include sustainable building design, the adaptive reuse of existing structures, mobility and infrastructure planning, and the integration of green space into dense urban settings. Courses on planning policy and regulation are also common, since regeneration projects usually involve navigating zoning rules, heritage constraints, and the interests of multiple stakeholders, from residents to public authorities and private developers. Design studios generally ask students to develop proposals for real urban sites, addressing questions of housing, public space, and economic activity at a neighborhood or district scale. Graduates of urban regeneration programs typically pursue careers as architects, urban designers, or planning consultants specializing in the redevelopment of existing urban fabric, working for design firms, public planning offices, or development agencies. Studying this discipline in English at an Italian university situated in Roma gives students a chance to examine regeneration questions in a city shaped by layers of historic and modern urban development.
