THE INTERNATIONAL GEODESIGN COLLABORATION: THE CAGLIARI CASE STUDY

This paper presents a two-scales geodesign study of the Metropolitan City of Cagliari developed according the International Geodesign Collaboration (IGC) guidelines and standards. As such, the study aims at contributing to the broader IGC research questions concerning how the geodesign approach to spatial planning can help addressing the most urgent complex challenges of sustainable development. After an introduction on the main key-features of the IGC initiative, the case study is presented in terms of the design approach and workflow. The paper concludes with a discussion on what lesson can be learnt from applying the geodesign approach with regard to planning education and practice.
