This module will examine the challenges and opportunities for education estates in connecting with their local environments and contexts. Through case studies it will critically analyse how universities, colleges and schools can contribute to wider regeneration objectives, such as community development, entrepreneurship and cross- institutional network-building. It will focus on how educational environments can develop initiatives that, for example, can help reduce urban deprivation or respond to rapidly developing localities, through estates practices beyond the campus that aim to improve health and wellbeing, offer training and opportunities, and provide access to jobs and cultural resources.
