The implementation of urban design varies and subject to different legal and organizational structures. The scope of work has gradually incorporated both vision and mechanism. The challenge of campus planning is a prototype of urban design. The diversity and autonomy of various functions in a campus operate like a small city.

The challenges a campus encountered such as transformation, expansion and growth management is similar to a real city that demands a long-term ad hoc organization with comprehensive operational structure and procedure. Campus planning is a dynamic process rather than a static blue print. The pursuit and interpretation of “Good Campus Form” also denominated different meanings. This article intends to analogue the campus planning and urban design process. Using the urban design theory and concept to examine the vision and mechanism of campus planning. It is anticipated that this investigation will provide a conceptual structure that will contribute to the future work of campus planning and design. |
