This paper provides an approach to the complexity of city limits and their potential to foster the debate on the architect’s role in the design and management of contemporary cities. Specifically, it examines the process and outcomes of an integrated course of Architectural and Urban Design that pursues service-learning, enriched through the opportunity of collaboration with the developer of a new urban area in the limits of Madrid and the neighborhood associations of a surrounding community. Students benefit from different learning activities covered by the agreement between the university and the developing company, including talks and workshops with cross-functional experts. The interaction with participatory urbanism enhances the students’ skills to understand the difficulty of meeting business requirements and citizen needs in planning. Impact is high on the students’ learning by doing, the university knowledge transfer—results are published—and the corporate social responsibility.
