The programme is designed to train highly-qualified specialists in urban and territorial development, while promoting the appropriate exploitation of their individual talents, to develop a distinctly multidisciplinary figure, a professional able to adapt to a wide variety of scientific knowledge and areas in a flexible and dynamic way. The offered training will therefore give to PhD students the possibility to exploit specific skills acquired, to effectively interact with other professionals participating in urban and regional planning projects. Based on multi- and inter-disciplinary PhD skills, the programme intends to move fluidly through the conventional boundaries that separate social sciences from applied technical, engineering, physical-natural sciences. In order to train specialists who are able to effectively navigate in the global context, the doctoral programme should adopt also a strong international nature, both in the sense of attracting young motivated and qualified scholars from abroad, as well as offering to students a training which corresponds to the highest academic and professional standards, also thank to the contribution of foreign scholars and the organisations of internships in highly qualified institutions. To stay coherent with the adopted approach the training activity is also developed entirely in English. The PhD programme is mainly focused on twenty topics, which can be related to four Sustainable Development Goals adopted by the United Nations Member States: SDG 11: Sustainable cities and communities 1. Urban and regional governance 2. Spatial planning 3. Urban studies 4. Human, economic and political geography 5. Built environment 6. Real estate 7. Natural environment 8. Landscape 9. Cultural heritage 10. Cultura and social innovation SDG 13: Climate actions 11. Climate change 12. Sustainable land use and territorial resilience 13. Risk prevention and management 14. Geomatics SDG 9: Industry, innovation and infrastructure 15. Transport systems 16. Building information modeling 17. Big data for spatial development 18. Virtual and augmented reality for spatial development SDG 7: Affordable and clean energy 19. Renewable energy and energy transition 20.

More specifically, I am interested in the various ways in which laws/regulations, cultural-historical mechanisms, and the physical characteristics, as well as limitations of the landscape, contribute to the transformation of animal lives and bodies through capital and science. In order to analyze the changing relationships between humans, animals and the landscape, and the various mechanisms that seek to transform and improve animal lives and bodies to conform the market demand for mozzarella cheese, I have used a variety of research methods. These methods have included detailed textual analyses of newspapers, magazines and government and industry reports, in-depth and expert interviews and photography. I have also conducted participant and direct observation in a multispecies ‘contact zone’ during my work experience in a buffalo farm. One of the first outcomes of this research – recently presented at the Annual Meeting of the American Association of Geographers in Washington DC – is that securitization of nonhuman economies results not only in stronger control over the product and the whole production chain, including nonhuman value producers, but it also contributes to the transformation of nonhuman/animal life cycles in radical ways. 9 Urban and Regional Development Ph.D. Programme ANNUAL REPORT 2019 NAME Federico DELL’ANNA E-MAIL [email protected] COURSE XXXII cycle - 3rd year RESEARCH TITLE Energy and Economic Evaluations to Design Urban Transformation and Requalification
