Includes bibliographical references. / The thesis traces the development of universities, identifies their characteristics in terms of space, building and planning structures and explores the social background which gave rise to these features. The core chapters explore the emergence of university spatial development, first in the medieval colleges of Oxford and Cambridge, then in the renaissance and neoclassical European universities. These are followed by the exploration of the campus plans in the United States and finally, the postwar universities.
