The book offers a pedagogical reflection on the urban design proposals developed by bachelor students, analysed from both compositional and methodological perspectives. It focuses on their design strategies for new urban developments in contexts where the city is the primary reference point. Through these academic exercises, students engaged in a critical dialogue between contemporary architectural interventions and the historical urban fabric, emphasising the formative role of architectural education in shaping the next generation of urban designers. The projects illustrate how historical and architectural awareness can be integrated to produce sustainable and contextually attuned urban solutions.
