Abstract

This study aims to analyze Seoul's university-linked urban planning model and propose future development directions. Seoul has been expanding university-linked urban planning by establishing Campus Towns at 39 universities since 2016. In the context of this project expansion, this study examines the definition and characteristics of university-linked urban planning, analyzes overseas cases and Seoul's Campus Town project cases, and proposes future development directions. The research methodology involved comparative analysis of overseas cases including China's Zhongguancun, the United States' Kendall Square, Sweden's Malmö, Finland's Startup Sauna, and Germany's EUREF, alongside Seoul's Campus Town projects in terms of actors, methods, and content. The analysis revealed that improving university-public cooperation structures, diversifying project methods, and strengthening connectivity between startups and regional development were identified as key tasks for enhancing the effectiveness of Campus Town projects. While this study has limitations in addressing a restricted number of overseas cases, it holds significance in providing new policy perspectives for domestic university-linked urban planning.
