Description
Summary:The role of university campuses is evolving from closed, self-referential spaces to open and inclusive urban infrastructures capable of responding to the needs of academic and city communities. This study analyses the liveability of university public spaces through a methodology that identifies guidelines for designing sustainable, accessible, and city-integrated campuses. The research tested these principles through three redevelopment and new construction projects at the University of Pisa, demonstrating how architecture can be a tool for urban regeneration. The adopted approach promotes social inclusion, well-being, and sustainability, creating a replicable model for future campus development, in line with SDGs 3, 4, 5, and 11.   Article info Received: 17/03/2025; Revised: 14/04/2025; Accepted: 23/04/2025
