Giulia Lucertini, planner and architect, PhD in valuation and local economics (University of Padua) and in “aide à la decision” (Université Paris Dauphine), with a thesis entitled: "Evaluating Public Policies. Normative Models beyond Cost-Benefit Analysis ". She began her research activity in France, at the Université Paris Dauphine, with a research grant on decision support in the safety of territories posed at high industrial risk. From 2013 she became a post-doc research fellow at the Iuav University of Venice, in the Department of Planning and Planning in Complex Environments. In this period she deals mainly with resilient spatial planning, and evaluation and analysis of projects and public policies aimed at climate change adaptation. In recent years, she has also worked on the circular economy and urban metabolism linked to land use planning for a more sustainable and regenerative exploitation and consumption of natural resources, with particular attention to local food policies and more generally local agriculture. Her current research interests are the evaluation and construction of projects and policies for urban and rural development (in their interaction and dependence), considering the multifunctional aspects of urban and peri-urban agriculture from two points of view: (i) economic and social space regeneration and the creation of sustainable economies, and (ii) environmental resilience and adaptation to climate change.
