Abstract

AAG2016 Conference Report 3: universities and place making The Town and Gown sessions organised by Jennifer Mapes (Kent State University), examined the relationship between universities, townscape and the 21st century city. Universities are increasingly inculcated in place marketing and branding, connecting campus development to broader practices of civic boosterism, urban regeneration and place making. Indeed, larger institutions might well be considered as significant property developers in their own right. The sessions, therefore, included international case studies examining the relationship between universities and towns and settlements where they are located.
