'A place for the unexpected, integrated into the city structure': universities as agents of cosmopolitan urbanism
The role of formal architecture and urbanism in representing and reinforcing hegemonic power structures, ideologies, and identities is well established. It has been extensively critiqued both in relation to European nationalism and colonialism, and to explore how state agencies have deployed urban planning and architecture to re-imagine and represent national and postcolonial identities following the end of empires and the re-calibration of Western political and cultural influence internationally. Universities, as élite institutions tied to state agendas and as major landowners, urban developers and financially well-endowed clients for architecture, have historically been significant actors in these processes. This paper discusses the evolution of new forms of university spatial and architectural development which are framed by discourses around inclusive, diverse, and cosmopolitan urban identities and heritage, transcending nationhood.
