Abstract
Today university campuses and their new forms represent the cutting edge spatial and functional structures for conducting high quality educational, scientific-research and professional activities. Furthermore, holistic and interdisciplinary potential of processes conducted on universities and their campuses represent a living laboratory for development of urban areas and society in general: a polygon for inventing, implementing and evaluating new trends and potentials for future scenarios and sustainable development. The concept of the interactive university campuses knowledgebase represents a new programming and planning tool aimed at efficiently linking worldwide universities, encouraging interaction on the campus planning topics, and facilitating the comparison and improvement of planning strategies and activities. By examining universities in Europe and worldwide—their campuses, social, cultural and urban context and planning activities—it will be possible to compare different planning methods and campus activities. With continuous input base becomes a living tool and planning method that lives and develops itself fast and efficiently, inspiring future planning of campuses and urban areas based on global and contemporary experience.
