Overview
This book is a memorial to Professor Paul Benneworth who died in 2020 at the age of 46, but also a review of the current state of the art in work on universities and place, identifying important new directions for research. The book showcases Paul’s contribution, authored by those who worked with him, engaging with key ideas that Paul pursued and on which he was actively working. The chapters are grouped around three main themes. The first theme is focused on universities, cities and regions and examines the ways in which universities are embedded in place, with a particular emphasis on the governance of university-place relations and an international set of examples and case studies. This includes cross-institutional partnerships and also the physical consequences of university locations. A second theme is around local and global networks including the knowledge exchange process involving the university and business. These networks include social dynamics and social enterprise, as well as the role of academic diaspora in international knowledge exchange. The third theme then looks at regions and leadership and the strategic role of different stakeholders in place development. The book also includes a summary of Paul’s life and work and a list of his writings.
