In the summer of 2012, a group of City & Regional Planning students and faculty participated in a 10-day field experience in the Provence of Catania, Sicily. The program was sponsored by the Sicilian city of Zafferana Etnea, and supported by our partnership with colleagues from the University of Catania.
