R3C concludes its second participation in Progetto INTRAPRENDENTI with the course “Designing the Resilient Transition of Cities and Territories”

For the second consecutive year, the Responsible Risk Resilience Centre – R3C contributed to Progetto INTRAPRENDENTI at Politecnico di Torino through the course “Progettare la transizione resiliente di città e territori” / “Designing the Resilient Transition of Cities and Territories”.

The course, offered by R3C and coordinated by Prof. Rosario Ceravolo with the contribution of a broad team of R3C researchers, is part of the INTRAPRENDENTI pathway for students in engineering, architecture, planning and innovative design. It introduces key concepts for understanding and designing resilient transitions in cities and territories, addressing topics such as risk analysis from the territorial scale to individual structures, monitoring of the natural and built environment, responsible risk management, seismic risk, remote sensing and territorial resilience.

The 2025/2026 edition combined theoretical lectures, practical exercises and group project work, encouraging students from different backgrounds to collaborate on applied and interdisciplinary themes related to risk, monitoring, mitigation and resilience.

The closing session took place on 1 July 2026 at OGR Torino, headquarters of R3C, where students presented the outcomes of their final group projects. The presentations addressed a wide range of topics, including territorial risk analysis, GIS-based georeferencing, multi-risk assessment, risk indices and risk maps, urban heat islands, satellite-based monitoring, integration between satellite and in-situ data, local monitoring applications, cost-benefit analysis, mitigation systems, reliability analysis, Monte Carlo simulations, and experimental approaches to resilient technologies.

The final discussion highlighted the value of interdisciplinary learning in addressing complex urban and territorial challenges. By connecting engineering, planning, architecture and design perspectives, the course offered students the opportunity to explore how resilience can be translated into concrete analytical, technological and design approaches for safer, more sustainable and adaptive territories.

Through its participation in Progetto INTRAPRENDENTI, R3C confirms its commitment to education, applied research and knowledge transfer on responsible risk management and resilient territorial transitions.
