Biography
John Goddard is Professor Emeritus of Regional Development Studies at Newcastle University, UK.
Paul Vallance is Research Associate in the Centre for Urban and Regional Development Studies at Newcastle University, UK.
'[...] as a piece of careful thinking about a much under-researched aspect of higher education, it is admirably focused and deserves - and repays - careful study. [...] The overriding message that Goddard and Vallance convey is that urban development agencies need to acquire a better understanding of their local universities, how they are structured and who makes policy within them. My guess is that they are likely to be surprised (to put it mildly) at what they find.' — Geoffrey Alderman, The Times Higher Education, March 2013
