En este trabajo se propone la metodología del Aprendizaje-Servicio (ApS) como una herramienta adecuada para alcanzar los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible (ODS) en el contexto educativo. De hecho, la naturaleza propia del ApS ya lleva intrínseca los ODS: 4. Educación de Calidad y 17. Alianzas para lograr los Objetivos. Desde la Unidad de Emprendimiento Social, Ética y Valores en la Ingeniería (UESEVI) se desarrollan 4 proyectos de ApS en los que hay implicados 7 de los 17 ODS. Se ha realizado un estudio comparativo entre el alcance conseguido de los ODS en España y en Europa, con el objetivo de analizar y medir estos proyectos, y en un futuro poder diseñar proyectos ajustados a aquellos ODS que haya que mejorar urgentemente.

While the populations of cities continue to grow, institutions are demanding more sustainability in urban development, leading to a great increase in the complexity of urban planning. The need to consider social, legal, environmental, and economic parameters challenges the traditional urban planning processing in favor of an optimized and automated process. Generative design has the potential to optimize the design phase by automatically generating spatial design solutions and analyzing them in the design phase. The objective of the present study is to analyze the traditional urban planning process and to compare it with a digitalized driven process by using generative design. This study uses a mixed approach with four research methods: document analysis, survey, interviews, and a case study based in Sweden. The critical analysis of the Swedish urban planning process makes it possible to define the main barriers to a digitalized process. Results also show the benefits of using generative design for a more sustainable and faster design process. Two main conclusions can be made from this study: institutional and organizational changes are necessary to achieve digitalization, and generative design proves to be a useful tool that should be considered to support the digitalization of urban planning.
