University as a Marketplace

Towns · Neighborhood

Context Network of Learning18

Problem

A sealed-off campus separates learning and knowledge from the rest of the town — education becomes the privilege of an enrolled few instead of something open to anyone who wants to learn.

Solution

Open higher learning into a marketplace of knowledge, freely accessible and threaded into the town, so that knowledge is traded and shared there like goods in a real market, instead of vanishing behind campus walls.
