Introduction -- New institutions for a new environment : pedagogical space in the progressive city -- City as laboratory : Hull-House and the rise of the Chicago School -- Modern city, modern campus : institutional expansion and urban renewal in the postwar era -- Classrooms off the expressway : a new mission for higher education -- "Model of the modern urban university" : the new spatial form of the Chicago Circle campus -- Campus revolt : the reform of the commuter university -- City as campus : university space in the global city -- Conclusion -- Urban schools play an important role in shaping the cities outside their walls. This book uses Chicago as a case study to examine how universities interact with their urban contexts, demonstrating how higher education became integrated with ideas of urban growth as schools evolved alongside the city. The book shows the strain of this integration, detailing historical accounts of battles over space as campus designers faced the challenge of weaving the social, spatial, and architectural conditions of the urban milieu into new forms to meet the changing needs of academia -- Community and college Illinois Chicago 78825 Local Architecture and society.
