Il vandalismo è un problema comune negli spazi pubblici urbani che richiede un intervento urgente. Utilizzando il Parco della Torre di Milano come case study, questo lavoro esplora la relazione tra il problema del vandalismo causato dai giovani, interpretati come utenti dello spazio urbano, e il design. La presente tesi mira a comprendere i fattori che portano al vandalismo nei parchi urbani e a proporre raccomandazioni e soluzioni progettuali che aiutino a ridurre e a prevenire tale fenomeno. In letteratura sono stati esplorati diversi concetti relativi alla comprensione del vandalismo e agli approcci di progettazione fisica per intervenire sul vandalismo stesso, tra cui il significato, la classificazione e la motivazione, attingendo alle rilevanti teorie della psicologia, della sociologia e della progettazione fisica, nonché al CPTED: prevenzione del crimine attraverso la progettazione ambientale, prevenzione situazionale del crimine e concetti di progettazione dei quartieri. Allo stesso tempo, sono stati utilizzati questionari e interviste faccia a faccia per raccogliere e analizzare i dati degli utenti del Parco della Torre. Sulla base di questi, gli autori propongono raccomandazioni e soluzioni progettuali.In letteratura sono stati esplorati diversi concetti relativi alla comprensione del vandalismo e agli approcci di progettazione fisica per intervenire sul vandalismo stesso, tra cui il significato, la classificazione e la motivazione, attingendo alle rilevanti teorie della psicologia, della sociologia e della progettazione fisica, nonché al prevenzione del crimine attraverso la progettazione ambientale(CPTED), prevenzione situazionale del crimine e concetti di progettazione dei quartieri.
