This article undertakes an analysis of current urban planning programs at universities with a focus on sub-Saharan English-speaking African (SSA) and South East Asian countries (SEA) as comparison cases. The aim is to identify, as an important part of sustainability, the existence and share of climate change and disaster related courses in the curricula, and to understand to what extent these topics are already integrated into current urban planning programs at the university level and thus shape the knowledge and skills of future urban planners. The local academic and professional environments in which the programs are based are taken into account by a review of the historical development of the programs. The analysis in mid-2020 took only those universities and programs into account that have curricula and course titles available online. The data were analyzed both quantitatively and qualitatively. The second part of the research deals with the discussion of how these courses can be best integrated into the existing curricula and thus serve the adequate education of urban planners by providing some concrete ideas.

- Lelio Pagani was a geographer well-known to the staff of this faculty. He was open to multi-disciplinary approaches which led him to work with urban planners, architects and Slavic students and he was also able to combine research with service to the community. This article gives a rapid profile of his very varied activities and is also a tribute to his human qualities, a fond memory of a friend and a colleague. A full professor at the University of Bergamo, Lelio Pagani filled an important role there: he was amongst other things the director of the department of letters, arts and multi-media studies and of the urban planning studies centre of the university, which today bears his name and which was founded by him. He brought the contribution of geography to the analysis and solution of problems in urban planning and landscape issues and to research into architectural design. He placed his specific expertise and uncommon knowledge of the province at the service of the community. He was president of the Consortium of the Regional Park of the Colli di Bergamo and of the University of Sciences, Letters and Arts, Provincial Councillor for the Environment and a leading figure in the Cultural Heritage Documentation Centre of the Province.

In the article, the author examines the building of the Astronomical Observatory (1833-1837), which was a part of the architectural ensemble of Kazan Imperial University in the first third of the 19th-early 20th centuries (now – Kazan Federal University). The primary purpose of the study is to identify the specific features of the university ensemble. The task is to set the value of the Astronomical Observatory as the basic identifier of the ensemble. The research methodology is based on the theory of identity in architecture and urban planning and the application of a systematic analysis of the ensemble and its components. The author determined the importance of the Astronomical Observatory's building in the university ensemble in the context of the theory of identity. The features of the space-planning solution of the observatory building, its placement in the city landscape, and its great importance in the formation and development of astronomical science in Kazan allow us to conclude that the Astronomical Observatory was one of the identifiers of Kazan Imperial University ensemble. The significance of the research results lies in the development of the theory of identity when one of the objects of the ensemble becomes its identification code.
