Comment

Coventry University dominates in the centre of Coventry, a sprawling campus that is gradually swalllowing more and more formerly public spaces as it builds an academic empire on top of what was once the bustling centre of a large manufacturing town. As this transformation takes place, what is happening to the social relationships between the citizens of Coventry and the staff and students of the university? What does the university bring to Coventry, and what does the town give to the university? What is lost in the process? And what do wheelie bins have to do with it all?
