3. Each college or university is an urban unit in
itself, a small or large city. But a green city….
The American university is a world in itself.

13. By selectively loosening place-to-place
contiguity requirements, wired networks
produced fragmentation and recombination of
familiar building types and urban patterns.
Similarly, by selectively loosening person-to-
place contiguity requirements, wireless
networks and portable devices have created an
additional degree of spatial indeterminacy….
