STUD.IO - Sociability Through Urban Design Innovation - is an Erasmus+ project that started in September 2020 and is scheduled to be finalized in February 2023. The project stems from the needs today's city-centres, whether they be small-medium-large, have in relation to new social challenges related to them. Knowing how to fully understand the social needs, the main problems and strengths of the city context, as well as knowing how to plan and design appropriate interventions must involve the knowledge and skills of those who work in urban and territorial planning, taking into account the sociological and psychological aspects absolutely relevant.

Therefore, taking into account the need found both at local level and in university training courses, the STUD.IO project aims to relate complementary sciences of psychology, sociology and urban planning in order to create a specialized university path accompanied by innovative tools and methodologies, especially using cutting-edge technologies, to improve and perfect the career of university students and non-university students working and studying in the field of urban development and society.

The main objective of the project is to provide universities with study pathways, divided into specific modules covering different thematic areas (urban, social, anthropological, environmental, political) in order for urban development to meet the psychological, relational, sociological and physiological needs of individuals living in cities. The project brings together partners (universities and private organizations - profit and non profit) from Italy, Romania, Slovakia, and Spain.
