“…Fourth, however, the service tradition and public engagement are weaker than in the US with its land-grant ethos, independent trustees, and popular sports. Certain civic universities have a long history of region building, and in general UK higher education is closer towards US practice in relation to both localized engagement (Goddard and Vallance, 2014) and the "impact" of and commercial applications of research. Yet the instinct for external social referencing is less developed in the UK.…”

Over the last 40 years, UK higher education has moved from a publicly funded system to a mixed publicly/privately funded system regulated as a tuition loans-based consumer market, in which both the student as graduate, and the higher education institution, are responsible for a significant proportion of total costs . It is nevertheless subject to robust government control. This is partly exercised indirectly through comparative assessments of institutional performance by public agencies that define common objectives and install a hierarchy based on measured performance, helping to differentiate HEIs within the market. Institutions remain partly dependent on government funding in the forms of research-related support, teaching subsidies and subsidization of the loan system through non-repayment of debt. The 2012 introduction of a £9,000 maximum fee for full-time students and £6,750 for part-time students in England, based on income-contingent repayment arrangements, was associated with a net increase in funding, growth in full-time first degree students, and a sharp fall in part-time and mature age students. Part-time students begin repayments four years after the commencement of their course of study. The long-term cost of the student loans scheme is uncertain and its sustainability is in question. After 15 years of declining funding for students, total systemic funding rose by 50% between 2000 and 2015 and per student funding also rose, but this benfitted only the research-intensive universities in the Russell group. These universities benefit most from funds allocated through the government's periodic national research assessments.

“…This strategy assumes that market-driven neighborhood revitalization, accompanied by public school reform, health initiatives, employment training, and the like, will bring about desirable neighborhood change [10,[36][37][38][39]. This optimistic viewpoint of university-led neighborhood revitalization is not rooted in the already existing realities of town and gown relations [10,12,13,35,[40][41][42][43][44][45]. Neither is this optimistic view of neighborhood revitalization embedded in a clear-cut understanding of market dynamics and the political economy of place [2,46,47].…”

“…Kimpton intended for the commission to fight crime, organize civic involvement by street/block engagement, and to develop a comprehensive plan for the neighborhood improvement. The intent was to maintain and expand the neighborhood's middle-class population, pursue racial integration, while simultaneously reducing the neighborhood's low-income Black population [41][42][43][44][45][46][47][48][49][50][51][52][53][54][55]102]. The 1956 Hyde Park-Kenwood, Chicago urban renewal plan called for the acquisition and demolition of 630 buildings and an additional 5941 housing units [56,103].…”

This essay analyzes and syntheses key theories and concepts on neighborhood change from the literature on anchor institutions, university engagement, gentrification, neighborhood effects, Cold War, Black liberation studies, urban political economy, and city building. To deepen understanding of the Columbia University experience, we complemented the literature analysis with an examination of the New York Times and Amsterdam newspapers from 1950 to 1970. The study argues that higher education’s approach to neighborhood revitalization during the urban renewal age, as well as in the post-1990 period, produced undesirable results and failed to spawn either social transformation or build the neighborly community espoused by Lee Benson and Ira Harkavy. The essay explains the reasons why and concludes with a section on a more robust strategy higher education can pursue in the quest to bring about desirable change in the university neighborhood.

“…This will employ the multidimensional understanding of adaptive capacity outlined above. In particular, because this utilizes a contrast of the more 'exploratory' sector of the economy (exemplified here by universities) to the more 'exploitative' sector (represented by private enterprises) it develops the argument that 6 A notable exception is Grabher and Stark's (1997) universities can, by analogy, be seen as a source of valuable 'slack' in a territorial system (Goddard and Vallance 2013).…”

Evolutionary Economic Geography (EEG) has, thus far, neglected the contribution of universities to innovation processes in its emerging theoretical explanations of territorial economic change. This paper begins to address this conceptual gap by outlining a perspective on the ways in which universities, as organizations with institutional features and functions that are distinctive to those of firms, can enhance the adaptive capacity of national or regional economies. The argument developed is based on a complexity theory view of system selftransformation and supports greater attention to this framework in a pluralistic EEG.
