Global Universities and Urban Development

Case Studies and Analysis

Edited by Wim Wiewel and David C. Perry

Marzo 2008, inglés

Published by M.E. Sharpe, Inc., in cooperation with the Lincoln Institute of Land Policy


This book on the role of global universities in urban development, edited by Wim Wiewel and David C. Perry, complements their previous volume on U.S. institutions, The University as Urban Developer: Case Studies and Analysis (M.E. Sharpe and Lincoln Institute, 2005).

This work is part of the Lincoln Institute’s project to improve the collective capacity of leaders to achieve the multiple interests of cities, universities, and communities in ways that are mutually agreeable. This book thus continues the dialogue between universities and their host communities about the roles and responsibilities of all the city’s residents (i.e., individuals and institutions, public sector and private sector) in contributing to the quality of life in the city.

Linking the fields of real estate development, higher education, and urban design, this volume offers case studies of universities in 13 countries in Europe, Asia, Latin America, and the Middle East. Universities outside the United States are most often public entities, and their development practices exemplify how the modern state operates. The role of the knowledge economy in urban and global development has, in turn, forced a new consideration of universities as elements of the state and has provided an empirical position from which to assess the changing role of the state in this dynamic new era.

The book features contributions from noted urban scholars, campus planners and architects, and university administrators who provide a wide-angled perspective of the issues and practices that comprise university real estate development around the globe. A concluding chapter by the editors offers practical evaluations of the many cases and identifies best practices in the field.
