> University-Community Collaboration for Better Public Spaces
> 
> The Association of Collegiate Schools of Planning in conjunction with
> the Lincoln Institute for Land Policy has released "Partnerships for
> Smart Growth: University-Community Collaboration for Better Public
> Spaces." Written under a cooperative agreement with the U.S. EPA, the
> report profiles 13 university-lead collaborations on smart growth
> initiatives.
> 
> Linking the worlds of community development, higher education
> administration, and urban design, this accessible guidebook offers
> useful information on how universities and communities can best develop
> partnership projects. Its focus on smart growth projects further
> enhances its value for those interested in how urban, suburban, and
> rural growth can be accommodated while preserving open spaces and
> quality of life.
> 
> "Partnerships for Smart Growth" includes 13 case studies of
> university-community collaborations on smart growth initiatives. The
> chapters include geographically diverse locations and urban, suburban,
> and rural projects. Each case includes a comprehensive discussion of how
> and why the project was initiated, who was involved, what techniques
> were employed, what were the pitfalls, and what was the outcome. The
> result is a book with wide appeal for university administrators,
> land-use planners and administrators, scholars, and community
> development experts. Chapters are arranged by examples of smart growth
> in Curriculum, at Research Centers, by Collaboration and in the
> Community.
