Description
The master is articulated into three track, and a project work. The first track will
provide a broad spectrum of course subjects related to the history, technology, design,
planning and management of smart cities that all students will be required to take as
foundation modules. The second track will allow students to pursue interdisciplinary
approaches to solving critical challenges facing cities around the world and adapting
these challenges to each unique urban context and city DNA. The third track is focused
on project-based learning, partnering with cities in both Italy and China to solve real-
world challenges by working with government officials, stakeholders and the public. The
program will also allow students to be exposed to companies and experts in diverse
fields with the potential to build professional relationships and expand their networks.
The master only accepts students from the Chinese partner Beijing Zhuoer Education
Investment Co.,Ltd.
