Urban Universities and their Role in Central City Economics, University of California at Berkeley

University of California at Berkeley - CA, California

UC Berkeley participates in regional and neighborhood economic development through a consortium of Bay Area universities that provides technical support to urban development and housing initiatives. UC Berkeley’s Institute of Urban and Regional Development assisted in planning the “”New Asia Town”" commercial district.

It is supported by Berkeley’s City and Regional Planning Department and the US Department of Housing and Urban Development.

Excerpted from the Brookings Institute Center on Urban and Metropolitan Policy’s “”Urban Universities and their Role in Central City Economies”", December 1997

Wisconsin Campus Compact has brought more visibility and awareness, more leveraging of resources, and more collaboration with other organizations on multiple levels than would ever have been possible with even the best network of individual, campus-based service-learning and civic engagement programs.

-Don Mowry, Director, Service-Learning Center, University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire
