The city had been growing for a long time. However this growth was gradually stagnant and the old city center lost its vitality. To solve these problems, the government have made various efforts. Urban redevelopment projects that began in the 1960s were part of this effort. But the redevelopment of the city led by government caused protests from the residents. In order to alleviate these protests, urban regeneration, in which residents participated attracted attention since the 1990s. However, Seoul metropolitan government which felt the lack of a center to connect residents and the government, came up with ’Campus town’ plan where the university played a leading role in urban revitalization. To this end, Seoul Metropolitan Government requested Dongyang Mirae University to participate in the Campus Town project and the university accepted it.. Dongyang Mirae University encouraged students to participate actively in the planning of urban regeneration and opened a studio for students interested in urban revitalization. Many surveys, interviews, and suggestions, along with experimental attempts such as ‘Gulliver mapping’ and ‘imagination games’, have been led by students and have been successful. These urban regeneration in student participation shows new models and its possibilities.
