STUDI SULLA FORMA URBANA .1 - Scuole ed esperienze in Germania | STUDY ON URBAN FORM .1 - Schools and experiences in Germany

01/09/2026

Il numero 26 di U+D – curato da Joerg Gleiter – è il primo di una serie dedicata allo studio della forma urbana nelle diverse aree culturali europee. Lo scopo di questo progetto è fornire un quadro originale del processo formativo dell’idea di città in condizioni storiche e politiche differenti, attraverso l’esame delle relative ricerche teoriche e progettuali, con le quali dibattere su tendenze e scuole, consapevoli della complessità che questo genere di argomentazioni richiede.

Issue 26 of U+D, edited by Joerg Gleiter, will be the first in a series dedicated to the study of urban form in diverse cultural contexts. The aim of this project is to provide an original overview of the formative process of the idea of the city under various historical and political conditions through the examination of relevant theoretical and design research, also considering the formation of possible trends and schools, with all the cautions that the problem of their definition entails.

SCRITTURA E VERITÀ | Vecchi e nuovi paradigmi

SOCIAL PRACTICES AND (IN)EQUITY IN PRIMARY EDUCATION | International Perspectives

This article collection calls for contributions from different countries and contexts in which the concept of educational (in)equity is analysed by focusing on social practices in primary schools – situating them within transnational contexts.
