Abstract

The chapter delves into the historical relationship between universities, student housing, and urban development, tracing the evolution of these institutions from the medieval era to the modern day. It highlights the role of universities as centers of knowledge and innovation, and how student housing has adapted to meet the changing needs of students and cities. The text also explores the impact of urban planning on the development of student housing, with a focus on the University of Pavia as a case study. The chapter concludes with a discussion on the future of student housing and its potential to drive urban regeneration and social inclusion. Readers will gain insights into the historical and cultural significance of universities and student housing, as well as the challenges and opportunities facing these institutions in the 21st century.
