| Description | There is a growing importance of universities as an actor in regional development. Their dynamic development places new demands on city infrastructure, mobility and functions due to steep growth of number of students. The submitted article aims to point out impacts of presence of students on development of Brno and to excuse necessity of inclusion of cooperation among city and universities into city strategic planning. Theoretical approaches to university environment will be presented in context of its impacts on urban development (models of involvement into local environment included). Focus is given on minor but the most visible impacts and interactions of simple presence of university students in Brno. A questionnaire was created for students aimed to describe mutual interactions between students and the city for mapping those impacts. The most interesting outputs of this questionnaire will be presented. |
