• Is a university simply an institution that will facilitate the connections between sets of knowledge?
• Can this idea ^ be shrunk to a mini University? Perhaps it's still called a school…?
• What can a school offer to a community?
• What about a school attracts people to cities? Or, how does a city benefit from a school/university?

Universities in a creative economy
When one thinks of a great city, more often then not it that city includes a university. We can also look at the assets that an educational facility offers—research and developement, young and eager people, monetary power, and a respected voice in the community. Rowland Atkinson and Hazel Easthope explore “the roles of universities in promoting economic development tied to a creative economy agenda” in their paper, The Creative Class in Utero?.

So, I’m in search of a way to make connections more readily available between not only facets of the educational milieu, but also with the surrounding community.
We are now realizing that higher education has more of an impact than just the capital generated by students, but how do we exploit a university’s atmosphere to create an even more efficient use of creativity and talent…?
