"Austin, Texas is generally depicted as one of the great urban success stories of
the past half century--a place that has grown enormously through 'creative class'
strategies that emphasize diversity and environmental consciousness. Eliot Tretter's
book reinterprets this familiar story by exploring the racial and environmental underpinnings
of the postindustrial knowledge economy. He is particularly attentive to the role
of the University of Texas (often working with federal, municipal, and private-sector
partners), and the book will join a growing critical literature about how universities
shape urban environments"--Provided by publisher
