- This chapter argues that we need to engage with the more particular heritages of institutions and disciplines and the sites in which they are located, in order to come to terms with what role they may or may not play in relation to the development of our cities. In this case, I will focus specifically on the heritage of design education at University of Gothenburg, and how its relation to the city has changed over time. This includes a discussion not only of the officially acknowledged heritage of design education, but also a heritage currently unremembered or disabled. The question being what role these heritages have played and might play for the future of design education and how it is situated, impacts on and relates to the city in which in resides. This is discussed in terms of a set of ‘orientations’ (Ahmed, 2006), with different relations to and implications for urban heritage and university heritage at large. This is essentially a story of design education in Gothenburg, and therefore likely to be of particular interest to those who are familiar with design education or the particular Gothenburg context. Yet the ambition is that this somewhat granular narrative, as a microhistory of sorts (Ginzburg, Tedeschi and Tedeschi, 1993) may point to a less localised and more distributed phenomena in relation to university heritage and urban heritage at large.

Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Roma Tre University in Rome was founded in 1992 in close collaboration between the Municipality of Rome, the Ministry of Universities and Research, and the first university, La Sapienza. The outspoken intention was to place the new university close to the city centre, utilising the old industrial districts in and around Ostiense. In this chapter, we will first outline the relationship between the establishment of the new university and the overall urban planning and the specific project in the Ostiense-Marconi area. We will then centre our attention on the slaughterhouse area and how the university processes were related to a rising and shifting discourse on industrial heritage. We will also test the concept of a permanent provisional state to characterise parts of the urban development process and look at the relationship between planned and official interventions and discourses on heritage in the area. // Co-curating the City explores the role of universities in the construction and mobilisation of heritage discourses in urban development and regeneration processes, with a focus on six case study sites: University of Gothenburg (Sweden), UCL East (London), University of Lund (Sweden). Roma Tre university (Rome), American University of Beirut, and Federal University of São Paulo, Brazil. The aim of the book is to expand the field of critical heritage studies in the urban domain, by examining the role of institutional actors both in the construction of urban heritage discourses and in how those discourses influence urban planning decisions or become instrumentalised as mechanisms for urban regeneration. It proposes that universities engage in these processes in a number of ways: as producers of urban knowledge that is mobilised to intervene in planning processes; as producers of heritage practices that are implemented in development contexts in the urban realm; and as developers engaged in campus construction projects that both reference heritage discourses as a mechanism for promoting support and approval by planners and the public, and capitalise on heritage assets as a resource. The book highlights the participatory processes through which universities are positioning themselves as significant institutions in the development of urban heritage narratives. The case studies investigate how universities, as mixed communities of interest dispersed across buildings and urban sites, engage in strategies of engagement with local people and neighbourhoods, and ask how this may be contributing to a re-shaping of ideas, narratives, and lived experience of urban heritage in which universities have a distinctive agency. The authors cross disciplinary and cultural boundaries, and bridge academia and practice.
