Being an interdisciplinary doctoral course of study, it is impossible to anticipate what the programmatic lines of the seminar which aims to theoretically and methodologically monitor the development of individual doctoral theses. At the beginning of each academic year a schedule of sessions will be organized, biweekly, based on survey on current research, including conferences by visiting scientists as part of the programmes of the research lines and of the ongoing projects, of research centres and institutions both associated with this course of study.

At the end of each year's work, the doctoral candidate must submit a progress report, in line with a publishable scientific paper. This report will be presented at the seminar and submitted to a national or international journal.

The syllabus is organized into 5 modules that synthesize complementary theories that focus on the analysis of urban phenomena.
It will be approached from Chicago School, to French School of Social Morphology, to social thinkers and planners of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, to philosophers of the city, to the current theories on globalization and to urban revitalization and metropolitan segregation. A first module focuses on disciplinary traditions of sociology and anthropology, drawing on concepts which are relevant. A second deals with images and representations of the city in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries from the perspective of urbanism. A third module is marked on the look of the architect about the city, recurring to theory and practice of thinking about space. In fourth module it will be debated how power relations evolve urban territory and fifth module is a reflection of new forms of governance that impress contemporary dynamics in cities.

The evaluation of the student shall be the sum of the monitoring activities of asset classes and discussion of the texts presented (30%) and the final report resulting from a unique reflection of its development and discussed with the teachers (70%).

The vast body of research and theoretical and conceptual analysis of the field of urban studies can be systematized in three axes of issues: the axis of the processes of urbanization and transformation of cities, the axis of the various nodes of the urban issues and the axis of public urban policies in order to tackle those problems.
The program is structured in the following modules:
1.Urban change dynamics: historical perspective of the city and urbanization processes; diversity of current models of city
2.Consumption and urban culture: consumption as a structural axis of the current urban economies, implications for urban life; expression of urban cultures and city policies
3.Housing and ways of living: analysing the centrality of the housing function to produce the city, diversity and social and urban inequalities; ways of living, urban mobility and lifestyles
4.Urban policies: sectoral policies; globalization and integrated and systemic city policies.

The evaluation model is based on the student participation in those presentations (50%) and the writing of a paper, on the state of the art of one of the urban studies issues presented (50%).

The program is organized into four thematic modules that present ways of approaching urban complexity, from different angles of observation and analysis. Each module is made up of two to four sessions in which concrete research cases that clarify this methodological variety are discussed. In addition to these 5 modules, there is also an introductory and a concluding module.
P1. Presentation of the program: the city’s methodological challenge
P2. Urban landscapes and space syntax
P3. Temporalities and urban mobilities
P4. Urban planning and geographic information
P5. Urban Ethnography
P6. City, urbanity, and urban governance
P7. Final comments

Assessment is carried out throughout the semester. In addition to participating (writing and discussing) in classes and reading the recommended bibliography, each student must prepare a practical exercise, with tutorial support, which forms part of the methodological development of their doctoral project, using methods and techniques appropriate to their proposal. The student's assessment will be the sum of the following activities: a) active monitoring of the modules, including participation in the seminar discussion (25%); b) oral presentation of the draft of your methodological exercise (35%); final essay (40%).
This UC does not have a final exam.
