The societal interaction of higher education institutions

Chapter

This paper explores knowledge-based urban development related to higher education and campuses. It also provides an introduction to design thinking, which has been used as a user-friendly tool for fulfilling the ideals of urban campus development in the project ‘Live Baltic Campus – Campus Areas as Labs for Participative Urban Design’.

The project aimed at developing campuses as innovation hubs where different stakeholders, residents as well as businesses, are being taken into account; rejecting the prevailing campus discourses. As a takeaway message, the result of the project can be summarised as a formulation of the core themes of urban campus development.
