Student communities are without doubt a strategic resource for
urban development and students are the citizens and the
high-skilled working class of tomorrow. They are seen as an
'invisible population' with little say in local policy and
decision-making. Co-operation between educational institutions and
city planners is often missing and cities tend to neglect the
universities' foreign relations. This volume argues that the
importance of human capital in the competitiveness of cities
demands pro-active, integral city policies targeting this
community. Bringing together nine case studies of European cities
(Rotterdam, Utrecht, Eindhoven, Munich, Lyon, Lille, Venice,
Birmingham and Helsinki), it puts forward a comprehensive strategic
plan of action, aiming at the integration of student communities in
urban development. The book analyses the essential characteristics
of the relationship between students and their host communities, as
well as the role of higher education institutions and other actors
in building the 'student friendly' city.
