The Challenges
of Univeristy-Community Partnership
Wim Wiewel and Michael Lieber
January 1998
GCP-97-12
A four-step planning process describes the fluid planning model involved
in university-community partnerships. This planning model differs from
the rational planning model because the process is founded on the collaboration
of partners working together to achieve some goal. In this way, relationships
are built and goals are achieved. University of Illinois at Chicago
Neighborhoods Initiative is used to illustrate the relationship-oriented
planning process.

The “excess of fact” describes the complexity and crowded
nature of un-staged photography, where many factors aside from the single
subject interact to create meaning. This essay examines the ways in
which three modes of “excess of fact” in urban life—echoes,
encounters and exchange—create an urban aesthetics. Taking back
the right to the city and dialogic occasions are explored in this discussion
of the construction of meaningful urban existence.
