It analyses the new economic momentum and socio-cultural milieu as set in motion with the emergence of this society. The ensuing impact on the pre-existing facets of social identity and marginality, and the processes of construction of new social identities therein are studied.

Appelées de plus en plus à participer à des projets de développement basés sur la connaissance, les universités subissent de fortes pressions, pour se réorganiser autour de pôles d'innovation, s'ouvrant davantage vers l'extérieur et favorisant les interactions avec le territoire. Les universités, il est vrai, ont déjà fait l'objet d'études, de réflexions ou de critiques, par le passé. De nouveaux enjeux les ont remis à l'ordre du jour, un peu partout dans le monde, au point que les territoires sont amenés à se restructurer autour d'elles alors que la notion de « ville apprenante » se développe. Que faut-il voir derrière cet engouement nouveau pour les universités « porteuses » d'innovation ? Quels effets, au plan économique, social et spatial peut-on envisager ? Les expériences de 4 continents, représentés dans cet ouvrage divisé en trois parties : stratégies de développement, projets d'aménagement et nouveaux marchés, nous restituent un univers complexe où les universités sont vues comme des réservoirs de connaissances aptes à réfléchir aussi sur les compétences et les métiers à venir pour relancer la croissance. Chaque pays pourra en tirer profit.
