Abstract

This paper analyzes the relationship between the University of Granada and the city, its
urban and territorial evolution, by observing the processes of osmosis for its planning, shape and
behavior since its origins in the 14th century until the present day. We provide a descriptive
assessment of the most significant urban and spatial aspects involving the city and its university,
from a closer and more human scale, as an organization of settings for culture and learning, to its
repercussions at the regional or international levels. Of note is the urban nature of the city of
Granada as a campus, and its relational potential as a creator of civic locations of urban and
metropolitan cohesion, as evidenced by the results of studies into attributes that bear this out.
Lastly, we consider the future challenges, opportunities and scenarios of a local and international
nature that will face the city as it gradually responds to the changes in the university as a system
of spaces for learning and for urban and cultural innovation.
