Four axes guide this interdisciplinary course:
- The urban regeneration and reuse of industrial sites: including the legacy of worker's social housing and other infrastructures;
- Governance related to tangible and intangible industrial heritage policies at various scales: from grassroots to international regulations, and the discourses around its recognition;
- The circulation of production models and transmission of technical knowledge to deconstruct dominant narratives;
- Rethinking environmental and social sustainability:the impacts of industrialization and the new tools addressing the socio-ecological transition.
