Berkeley In‐Between

Abstract

This chapter expresses that one of the germinal sites for the radical reconstruction of economic geography during the 1970s, and a birthplace of what became known as the “restructuring approach,” or the “new industrial geography”. It presents a close-focus analysis of intellectual and social life on the campus and its immediate environs. It is about Berkeley as a place, concerned especially with the material and sociological landscape that the Department of Geography and Department of City & Regional Planning (DCRP) shared. The chapter describes the Berkeley moment articulating with, and mutually conditioning, a host of off-campus ideas, events, political movements, and connections. There was a significant cohort effect at work in the Berkeley moment. Industrial transformation - in its up cycle as well as its down cycle - remained an intrinsically open, political process. In the Berkeley case, these geographies played out in different ways and across a range of scales.
