Summary:

This book presents a story about specific institutions that can trace their origins to moments of intense urban transformation. Through a historical account and reflection on contemporary conditions in Chicago, the book addresses the specific physical design implications of campuses in urban environments and explores how urban and architectural design is used to represent, negotiate, and influence the relationship between universities and their communities, and ultimately, the success or failure of the exchange between them.
