The purpose of this study is to research the direction of campus moatown planning to respond to the urban community deterioration caused by low-rise residential development and regeneration in Seoul over the past decades. To this end, we examined the background of the emergence of campus towns and moatowns and related policies, and studied related cases. The methodology is as follows. First, through a theoretical review, we identified the respective emergence backgrounds and related systems of campus town and moatown. Second, by analyzing the cases of campus towns, we derived the complementarities of the existing cases and the need to connect with moatown projects. And third, we proposed the planning direction of campus moatowns for this purpose. Finally, stakeholders and experts related to the study were interviewed as needed. The study concluded that the linkage of campus and MoaTown projects to urban community recovery is positive and requires sharing of programs between universities and moatown, pedestrian paths that loop around the campus moatown to loosen physical boundaries, and forming hyperlocal communities.
