The academic activities in the fields of urban and regional planning has gained steadily over the past thirty three years in various universities in Europe (Italy, Slovenia, Spain and Portugal), South America (Brazil and Argentina) Africa (Tunisia and Cape Verde) and Middle East (Lebanon, Cyprus and Egypt). This activity was developed in parallel with invitations to educational interventions in other European and American Institutions. The coordination of MSc programs (Public Urban Policies – 2009-20012) and the co-coordination of International PhD programs (QuoD- IUAV Venice) are some results of these activities.
The concept of territory as a research laboratory has prevailed in areas such as border areas, conflict territories, and shrinking spaces in the different territorial and urban scales, with special attention to Mediterranean port cities.
