    The course is structured in 5 Weeks:

    • Week 0 – Introduction to the course
    • Week 1 - History of urban forestry
    • Week 2 – Urban Forestry planning and design
    • Week 3 – Urban forest ecology
    • Week 4 – Socioeconomics - Governance and community engagement
    • Week 5 – Entrepreneurship and innovation

    The weeks include different lessons: texts, videos, quizzes, individual self-reflection exercises, and discussion with peers. There are also:

    • the recording of two live events focused on exploring innovative case studies and deepening the strengths and challenges of Urban Forestry projects;
    • additional resources, collected in the Explore more session, to achieve a greater level of awareness of the topics.

    For all intents and purposes, these events and additional resources are part of the contents of the course and of the assessment. We advise you to follow the pathway linearly, but you can freely move between content, if it is more useful for you. It is important that you keep your own pace: the length indications are a rough estimate, but your pace should guide you at best for the enjoyment and the individual reflection on the topics covered.
