The university I went to is feeling increasingly urban as it's growing denser. It used to have a lot of empty spaces and buildings separated from walkways by lawns, but now there's several attractive squares and walkways.

Also the suburban area next to campus is redeveloping into an urban neighbourhood. It used to be mostly 1950s-1960s ranch houses and split levels rented out to students and not there's midrise apartments with ground floor retail even on the side streets (in fact, maybe even more commonly on side streets than on the arterials).
