The relationship between planning tools and migrant spaces is relatively underexplored in academic debates. While various administrations have developed responses to migration, most planning tools lack a shared reflection on migrants’ specific needs, and their interactions with native populations. 

What types of descriptions of people, places, and practices are needed to plan for areas where established populations and newcomers live? What are the planning experiences and tools from the EU to local levels in migration contexts?
 How can these topics be included in urban planning and architecture teaching? 

This three-day seminar series will engage international scholars, public administrations, civil society representatives, and Dastu scholars to address these questions.

To share reflections and strengthen networks, all seminars will variously involve colleagues from DAStU, including Alice Buoli, Carlotta Caciagli, Giada Casarin, Grazia Concilio, Marta Cordini, Emma Garavaglia, Maryam Karimi, Paola Piscitelli, Costanzo Ranci, Alice Ranzini, Stefania Sabatinelli
