Eliot Tretter's book reinterprets this familiar story by exploring the racial and environmental underpinnings of the postindustrial knowledge economy. He is particularly attentive to the role of the University of Texas (often working with federal, municipal, and private-sector partners), and the book will join a growing critical literature about how universities shape urban environments"--Provided by publisher.Urban ecology (Sociology)TexasAustinRacismTexasAustinKnowledge economyTexasAustinCity planningTexasAustinUniversities and collegesSocial aspectsTexasAustinUniversities and collegesEnvironmental aspectsTexasAustinAustin (Tex.)Environmental conditionsAustin (Tex.)Race relationsAustin (Tex.)Economic conditionsElectronic books.Urban ecology (Sociology)RacismKnowledge economyCity planningUniversities and collegesSocial aspectsUniversities and collegesEnvironmental aspects307.7609764/31Tretter Eliot, M.1047461MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQUnlimitedProject MuseBOOK9910466091303321Shadows of a sunbelt city2475040UNINA
