Campus universitário e espaço urbano: integração socioespacial em metrópole e cidades médias no sul do Brasil

Abstract

The University has repercussions on society not only in educational terms. Their campuses function as public facilities, significantly impacting the urban fabric in which they operate. However, university campuses often operate as autonomous municipalities. The present article presupposes that an integrated planning between University and Local Administration is beneficial for both since the action of the University extrapolates its physical limits. The objective is to reflect on the effects of the implementation of campuses in urban areas and discuss related guidelines. The methodological approach is hypothetical-deductive with theoretical referential, case studies and data geoprocessing, resulting in design guidelines in the urban design scale. The results indicate that the integration between campus and urban environment is viable with the application of criteria of sustainable Urbanism.
