University of Ljubljana, Biotechnical faculty, Department of Landscape Architecture project selection

University of Ljubljana, Biotechnical faculty, Department of Landscape Architecture project selection primarily focuses on topics related to European urban environments, including climate change adaptations, mass tourism, and post-industrial areas. The projects selected exhibit a well-defined conceptual design that transcends mere aesthetic appeal and comprehensively examines the challenges confronting contemporary cities. 
The selected projects address critical issues such as rising temperatures, extreme weather events, and biodiversity decline, while proposing solutions for sustainable land utilisation, blue-green infrastructure, and urban resilience.
Notably, the "Dancing with Fellini" project in Rimini, Italy, exemplifies innovation in turbo tourism. This project critically analyses the strain mass tourism imposes on urban areas and the subsequent erosion of city centres. It presents a novel approach to harmonizing local community needs with tourist attractions by introducing district centres and enhancing public spaces. The project's capacity to elevate public awareness and develop long-term strategies through creative methodologies served as a significant criterion for selection.
Furthermore, Rijeka, Jesenice, and Union EXPO projects aim to revitalise degraded spaces, transforming them into dynamic public areas or economic engines with a minimal environmental footprint. The selection process emphasised criteria such as innovation, thematic relevance, and the quality of presentations, both visual and textual. Each project was required to demonstrate a clear linkage between analysis, conceptualisation, and implementation, thereby contributing to establishing resilient, inclusive, and forward-looking urban environments.
