Introducing the historic perspectiveof the symbiotic relationship between the city and the university, the paper explores the interactionbetween the campus of the University of Novi Sad and its urban neighborhoods. It is supposed thatthe university campus can have a more prominent role in the system of centers in Novi Sad throughthe integration of its functions and open public spaces with the surrounding area and within the limitsof the campus itself.
