Politecnico di Milano PhD Scholarship
The One Works Foundation is delighted to announce its support for a PhD scholarship as part of the prestigious PhD programme in Urban Planning, Design and Policy (40th cycle) at Politecnico di Milano. This initiative underscores our deep commitment to fostering cutting-edge research and nurturing the next generation of experts dedicated to shaping sustainable and resilient urban futures.
The selected doctoral research, titled "Breathing new life into cities: remodelling, reconstruction, redevelopment through city-shaping infrastructure," will explore critical strategies for urban regeneration. This timely and vital area of study aims to investigate how strategically planned and thoughtfully designed infrastructure can act as a catalyst for revitalising urban environments, particularly in contexts requiring sensitive and innovative approaches.
As a research and education lab dedicated to promoting sustainable urban development, the One Works Foundation’s support for this scholarship is multifaceted. We aim to facilitate and consolidate the candidate's competencies in navigating complex, people-centred approaches to urban challenges, especially within fragile contexts. This collaboration will provide the doctoral candidate with invaluable opportunities to engage with operational locations requiring specialist expertise, fostering practical experience and potentially opening avenues for future professional collaborations and dedicated workspaces.
We believe that supporting in-depth academic research is crucial for developing innovative solutions to the pressing urban issues of our time. This partnership with Politecnico di Milano aligns perfectly with our mission to advance knowledge and promote practices that lead to more liveable, equitable, and environmentally sound cities.
We look forward with great anticipation to the insights and contributions that will emerge from this PhD research and are proud to play a part in advancing academic excellence in urban planning and design.
