Synopsis

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, basedon 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 andcities in our disrupted world.
