What has not received sufficient attention, is the contribution of the university to place-based development. This volume is the first in South Africa to engage seriously with the place-based developmental role of universities. In the international literature and policy there has been an increasing integration of the university with place-based development, especially in cities. This volume weighs in on the debate by drawing attention to the place-based roles and agency of South African universities in their local towns and cities. It acknowledges that universities were given specific development roles in regions, homelands and towns under apartheid, and comments on why sub-national, place-based development has not been a key theme in post-apartheid, higher education planning. Given the developmental crisis in the country, universities could be expected to play a more constructive and meaningful role in the development of their own precincts, cities and regions. But what should that role be? Is there evidence that this is already occurring in South Africa, despite the lack of a national policy framework? What plans and programmes are in place, and what is needed to expand the development agency of universities at the local level? Who and what might be involved? Where should the focus lie, and who might benefit most, and why? Is there a need perhaps to approach the challenges of college towns, secondary cities and metropolitan centers differently? This book poses some of these questions as it considers the experiences of a number of South African universities, including Wits, Pretoria, Nelson Mandela University and especially Fort Hare as one of its post-centenary challenges. 606 $aCommunity development$zSouth Africa 606 $aCommunity and college$zSouth Africa 608 $aElectronic books. 610 $aEducation$aSouth Africa 615 0$aCommunity development 615 0$aCommunity and college 676 $a378.68 702 $aVan Schalkwyk$b Franc?ois 702 $aCloete$b Nico 702 $aBank$b Leslie 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910295804903321 996 $aAnchored in Place$91926698 997 $aUNINA
