“…Finally, we emphasized the sustainability of the project. Projects conducted by both the public and private sectors, such as urban regeneration and the creation of communities, lack momentum to be continued after the projects are completed (completion of public support) [3][4][5][6][7]18,20,42]. We attempted to devise plans for sustainable win-win growth for the university and local communities, as opposed to one-time projects.…”

The Seoul Metropolitan Government has initiated projects to create campustowns to fully utilize university infrastructure. In this study, the first campustown project implemented in South Korea, Korea University-Anam Campustown Project, was evaluated to develop sustainable growth plans. Universities have useful infrastructure in terms of facilities, equipments, and human resources. There is a recent focus on breaking down boundaries between universities and communities to share this useful infrastructure. The methodology of this study is as follows. Primary indicators of win-win growth plans were identified by literature reviews and case studies. The indicators were applied to the target area by evaluations of the status of the area, SWOT analysis, collection of stakeholders’ views, and in-depth interviews. A commercialization plan was verified, while focusing on the project budget, feasibility, and administrative procedure. In total, 34 projects spanning five sectors (i.e., start-up, residence, culture, sharing with communities, and sustainability) were identified. Finally, measures to secure project implementation capacities and a master plan to improve the sustainability of this project were suggested. The results of this study are expected to contribute to the creation/development of similar projects at other universities in Korea.

The concept of sustainability has recently become a key matter of concern in urban planning, especially in the context of ever-increasing populations in urban spaces, as noted in the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goal 11, “Sustainable cities and communities”. In this study, we analyze the policies that are shaping the transition toward urban sustainability in the Spanish context. We focus on the evolution of such policies since the end of the last century, from Local Agenda 21 to the current sustainable development strategies. The territorial scope of the study covers the five provincial capitals of the region of Castilla-La Mancha (Albacete, Toledo, Guadalajara, Ciudad Real, and Cuenca). The research question posed herein is: “Have the policies that have been applied made these cities more sustainable?”. The methodology for answering this question is based on bibliographic analysis and analytical analysis, achieved by the qualitative method of interviewing the agents involved in the ISUDS, and conducting an applied analysis of the main actions developed in each of the cities, for which collaboration with the city councils has been key. Synthetic analysis has been used to conduct research using geographic information systems. The key findings relate to the progress made in achieving urban sustainability in these medium-sized cities, and the success of the urban planning process. We identified the following variables in the current ISUDS actions: new uses for unused urban lots, new building construction programs, street rehabilitation, building rehabilitation, and neighborhood regeneration.
