鈥淭he visiting card of a university lies in how the space educates the students鈥�. Professor Faroldi deeply cares about issues concerning the relationship between teaching, research, internationalization, sustainability, and the spaces in which they take place. Spaces constitute an excellent barometer of avant-garde, innovation, and social contribution that a university brings to society and the urban context in which it is located. The university campuses thus become bearers of these ideals by hosting welcoming places where education unfolds without cultural barriers and where diversity is considered a value.

The university embodies the values of the territory in which it is located and consequently represents an engine of innovation and development for the urban system, triggering a dynamic transformation capable of activating processes of urban renewal and economic revitalization. The Bovisa-Goccia project is an example of this concepts since it envisages not only the expansion of the Bovisa campus but also the creation of an innovation hub with areas dedicated to services for students, businesses, and citizens.
