Annotation University-based land development is becoming a significant element of urban formation. Yet there is little information available to explain the significance of the university presence in urban development and enhance the state of practice. This is the first book to explore the role of university as developer. It offers a rich array of case studies and analyses that clarify the important roles that universities play in the growth and development of cities. The cases describe a host of university practices, community responses, and policy initiatives surrounding university real estate development-from building neighborhood relations to innovative leasing and finance arrangements. The concluding chapter summarizes the volume's important lessons and best practices Colleges and universities are becoming increasingly active in acquiring and developing property, adding land, buildings, and commercial ventures to their asset bases, but the phenomenon has been little studied and seems to be little understood by either scholars or practitioners. Researchers in urban planning, architecture, economics, and other relevant fields have been collaborating with the Lincoln Institute of Land Policy to explore it, and the 17 essays here are part of the outcome of their effort.
