Univer-cities: Strategic Implications for Asia aims to redefine the multi-faceted symbiotic relationship between universities and host cities.

This reader will also show how universities can make a huge and innovative impact on the immediate, surrounding, and global communities that are drawn into its ambit of its campus and sought out by the university in inter-univer-city and trans-displinary linkages.Written by worldly academic leaders and professionals from Berkeley, Cambridge, Canberra and Singapore OCo who are prominent in fields of higher education strategy, campus cum urban planning, design, and architecture OCo the readings will shed some light on the future and power of univer-cities.It also shares seven strategic implications the concept has on Asian universities OCo this is especially timely and apt for a part of the world where education, togetherness, hard work, high-savings rates, and economic growth are emerging tectonic changes that the trinity of China, India and the Southeast Asian region engenders. It is no wonder that several top Asian cities have universities that have been ranked among the Top 50 universities in the world.
Univer-Cities: Strategic View of the Future by Anthony SC Teo Pdf
This follows on from the very well-received Volume I UNIVER-CITIES: Strategic Implications for Asia — Readings from Cambridge and Berkeley to Singapore edited by Anthony SC Teo and published in 2013. The early discussions on the topic "univer-cities" sparked considerable interest, leading to the Inaugural Univer-Cities Conference 2013. Volume II is the result of papers presented at the Inaugural Univer-Cities Conference 2013. Founded by Anthony SC Teo, the Conference was held under the auspices of Nanyang Technological University and the Lee Foundation in Singapore. The Inaugural Address was delivered by His Royal Highness Raja Dr Nazrin Shah and followed by presentations by eminent scholars and leaders of thought from universities all over the world. Building on the foundation for further research, discussion and input from scholars worldwide and the international community, the next univer-cities conference is planned for 2016. *His Royal Highness Raja Dr Nazrin Shah ascended the Throne as the 35th Sultan of Perak Darul Ridzuan on 29 May 2014.

The reader will show how Singapore has the potential of becoming a compelling Univer-city and it emphasizes on NTU's current univer-city status as a ‘garden-Univer-city’ (of a quadro-plaited university in a garden within a greater garden city-state of Singapore)Reviews: "Univer-Cities will accelerate. University of British Columbia is an incorporated municipality porously contiguous with the garden City of Vancouver; and pioneered social embeddedness through private-public co-development which raised some $500 million for our endowment." Arthur Hara OC Past Chairman, Board of Governors University of British Columbia "Living in the town of Pasadena a stone's throw away from Caltech, I enjoy the synergies of a simple life in science amidst the city's community, while cultural diversity is provided by the nearly Los Angeles. Looking across the Pacific to Asia, its rapidly growing high-rise universities are an integral component of megacities. I envisage a wide field for the development of mutually inspired novel formats of academic institutions that nevertheless allow the young generation a life in the city. In recent times there has been instead, a regrettable moving of university campuses to areas far removed from city centers, a separation that vertical and high-rising universities can now make unnecessary." Professor Dr Rudolph A Marcus Arthur Amos Noyes Professor of Chemistry, California Institute of Technology and 1992 Nobel Laureate for Chemistry "Anyone who is involved in either industry or education will know that today, the relationship between the university and its host city is increasingly symbiotic and dynamic. Today, the university and the city collaborate and share to enable both to become greater than the sum of their parts. In Asia, I have no doubt that we have only seen the tip of the iceberg, and that the most exciting developments in ‘univer-cities’ are still ahead of us. This book helps to illuminate the key issues and is therefore an apt beginning to that journey." Dr Victor K Fung Founding Chairman, Fung Global Institute; Chairman, Fung Group, and Chairman of the Council of The University of Hong Kong, 2001–2009 "The strategic underpinnings of 'univer-cities' resonate well with UKM as the value of its intellectual assets is harnessed by many elements in society to fuel socio-economic growth through technological innovations and entrepreneurship." Tan Sri Dato' Wira Professor Dr Sharifah Hapsah Syed Hasan Shahabudin Vice Chancellor, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia and President, National Council of Women's Organisation "I wholeheartedly agree with the concept of ‘univer-cities’. I believe in the future that the presence of worldclass universities will be the primary engines of superior economic growth, rather than the presence of low cost labour which typified high growth cities in the late 20th century." Nunzio Quacquarelli Managing Director QS Education Trust "Universities are no longer ivory towers of the past or sanctuaries of the church. Their interactions with the cities are evident in the nurturing of manpower for economic activities and providing innovations for better living." Professor Cham Tao Soon Chancellor of SIM University and Founder President of NTU (1991–2002) and 2006 recipient of The Royal Academy of Engineering International Medal (UK) "This edited volume highlights the role of universities in building knowledge-based cities and societies. In the next two decades, these universities will be characterised by the symbiotic relationship between the universities and their urban settings as they focus on issues critical to the environments in which they prosper." Dr Barry Desker Dean, S. Rajaratnam School of International Studies, Nanyang Technological University and Singapore Non-Resident Ambassador to Spain and The Vactican "An excellent piece of work with significance to our times and global higher education today. The intricate symbiosis and stories between universities in cities hosting them are cleverly captured by the contributors. It is encouraging, to say the least, that after reading the three stories told, one feels encouraged and enthused, knowing that the journey of institutional development has many common characters, features, challenges, opportunities and light-bulb moments. All great universities need their cities and vice versa." Winnie Eley Pro Vice-Chancellor (International and Advancement) University of Newcastle, Australia

Univer-Cities presents its fourth instalment, building on the success of its predecessors: I: Strategic Implications for Asia; II: Strategic View of the Future; III: Strategic Dilemmas of Medical Origins and Selected Modalities. This fourth volume, based on Univer-Cities Conference 2019, sets against a backdrop of the continual global economic re-structuring as well as technological, virtual and social disruption, exacerbated by a pandemic. Amidst these disruptions, it is needful for universities to re-visit their roles in serving their cities, to deal with such questions as: How can universities prepare their graduates to excel in a disrupted world? How can universities contribute to the re-skilling of a disrupted workforce? How can universities help cities to grow in a sustainable manner? How can universities be promoters of social inclusion, rather than being inadvertent bastions of exclusive elitism? Can univer-city be an alternate model -- ranging from Berkeley, Cambridge, Singapore and rising Asia? With contributions from senior-level academic, government and industry leaders from around the world, this book addresses these questions and more, as well as illuminates their insights, experience and aspiration on the symbiotic role of universities and cities in our disrupted world.

Univer-cities: Strategic Dilemmas Of Medical Origins And Selected Modalities: Water, Quantum Leap & New Models - by Teo Anthony Soon Chye Pdf
Building on the second volume of Univer-Cities: Strategic View of the Future — From Berkeley and Cambridge to Singapore and Rising Asia edited by Anthony SC Teo and published in 2015, this third edition presents 12 chapters weaving the dilemmas of strategy and leadership in one of humanity's beloved institutions, the university (with a long view strategy) and the city (a relatively shorter one). Based on the 2016 Univer-Cities conference hosted by the University of Newcastle, contributors of this volume reflect on the deliberations made by the conference participants, including academic leaders from University of Cambridge and University of California, Berkeley, urban architects, policy planners, and public office holders. The book hopes to engage the universities' top leadership in addressing accusations of elitism by re-societalisation of the varsities with their eco-system. Often criticised for being unresponsive to the pressing and accumulating problems faced by cities and societies, more can be done for universities to exert their socio-economic benefits and contribute to the progress of humankind. It is a call for academic elites to integrate basic research with the universities' strengths in medical disciplines for community advancement, urban planning, innovation systems and regional economic growth.

City Development Strategies to Reduce Poverty by Asian Development Bank Pdf
The world's urban population is growing fast. In Asia, 2.2 billion people (one out of two) are expected to live in cities by 2020. Urban centers are also increasing in size and number. Urban centers are important to national economies because they are the engines of economic growth and the focal points for important activities like trade, commerce, industry, and government administration. Cities are centers of excellence for education, health care, technological innovation, entrepreneurship, and governance. They provide access to large markets for goods and services and communication with the rest of the world. Urban centers create opportunities for jobs, employments, and livelihood. But, despite these advantages, most rapidly growing Asian towns and cities face significant problems. It is the urban paradox that amid the wealth and prosperity generated by towns and cities a high incidence of urban poverty persists. This publication sets out the results of a technical assistance that developed and introduced the concepts and techniques for preparing City Development Strategies (CDS) and Cities Without Slums (CWS) programs. It includes case studies that suggest that, for cities to benefit from their comparative advantages, they must become more efficient, govern well, and establish coherent poverty reduction programs.
