Owning a university (or campus) is what many people expect from Liuhe, but the reality is that it has passed by three times.
Recently, Nanjing Liuhe District and Zhengzhou University held a signing ceremony of the cooperation framework agreement on the main campus, announcing that they will fully launch the joint construction of the Jiangsu Research Institute of Zhengzhou University, the Alumni Industry Innovation Center of Zhengzhou University and the establishment of the Alumni Industry Development Fund.
It is understood that as early as December 16, 2023, the inaugural meeting of the Jiangsu Alumni Association of Zhengzhou University and the forum on the high-quality development of school-local integration, innovation and high quality have been successfully held in Liuhe.
Because in everyone's eyes, campuses that can enroll students are obviously more affordable than these. It is true that research institutes and innovation centers are important links in the integration of industry, education and research. However, the impact on employment (income) and consumption is indeed not so obvious.
In fact, Liuhe also has similar cooperation with two other universities.
March 2024
The project is the "first move" to implement the integrated development of China University of Mining and Technology and Liuhe District, aiming to explore the development path of "university + industry + park" and the operation mode of "new industry-city integration".
The first phase of the project and the dual-carbon building and intelligent construction industry project, with a total construction area of about 65,000 square meters, will create a "1+2+N" industrial system, that is, 1 platform - Nanjing Intelligent Construction Comprehensive Service Platform (Nanjing Construction Industry Internet Platform), 2 colleges - Intelligent Construction Industry Technology Research Institute, Intelligent Construction Technology Training College, intelligent assembly production, intelligent construction production, technology research and development, headquarters office and other "N" functional modules, to build a full chain of intelligent construction industry drive, After the completion of the project, it is of great significance to improve the industrial structure of Longpao Street and stimulate regional employment.
For the cooperation with the University of Mining and Technology, it was rumored that it was a new campus at the beginning. Later, I found out that it was just everyone's expectations.
It marks a key step in the preparation for the establishment of the International Innovation Port of Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics.
The project is located in Xiongzhou Street, Liuhe District, Nanjing, north to Xiaoying South Road, south to Shizhuang Road, east to No. 4 characteristic streets and lanes, and west to Jinjiang Highway.
The project will focus on building a highland for the introduction and cultivation of high-end talents, a harbor for scientific and technological innovation and entrepreneurship, a source for the integration of science and education, a demonstration of school-local integration development, and a special zone for the exploration of systems and mechanisms, and strive to build an advanced aerospace industrial cluster and an industrial science and technology innovation center with global influence.
The innovation port in cooperation with China Southern Airlines has relatively strong industrial attributes, which plays a significant role in enriching Liuhe's industrial structure and improving its industrial level. This still can't extinguish everyone's expectations for the campus.
So, why did the Liuhe pass by the university so many times? It could be something like this:
Nanjing Forestry University Baima Campus is about to welcome the first batch of about 5,000 teachers and students in September.
Because there is Nanjing National Agricultural High-tech Industry Demonstration Zone, which is located in Baima Town, Lishui District, is a national agricultural science and technology park, and is also the first batch of national agricultural high-tech zones in China and the only one in the Yangtze River Delta region.
On the other hand, what are the characteristic industries of Liuhe? Chemical industry? This does not seem to be the right place to build a densely populated university campus.
Many friends will ask: Gaochun is farther than Liuhe, why can you plan a higher vocational park, although it can only be regarded as a miniature version of the university town, but it is better than nothing.
Yes, relying on the Ninggao Intercity Tuanjiewei Station to build the Gaochun Higher Vocational Park, it looks like a university town in terms of scale. However, Liuhe could not find a similar location and a similar large area.
Also a subway, the Ningtian intercity line is the most important area for the development of Liuhe's industry and population layout. Ninggao Intercity is just a passage for Gaochun to quickly reach the main city, and there are large tracts of land available along the line.
The Longpao New Town, which is separated from the development axis of Liuhe, is very suitable for the landing of the university on the surface. In fact, the traffic is very inconvenient, especially public transportation such as the subway.
Some people will ask: Isn't it enough to build Line 14 quickly? For a sub-city like Liuhe, the university town can be a passing stroke after the subway landing, but it is difficult to become the main driving force to promote the construction of the subway. To put it bluntly: it is okay to build a school after the subway is repaired, but it is difficult to promote the construction of the subway by building a school.
In addition to land, Liuhe's financial resources are also limited. Taking last year's data as an example, the general budget revenue is only 5 billion yuan, which is higher than Gaochun's 4.3 billion yuan but much lower than Lishui's 6.7 billion yuan.
Although the data is not very objective because of the existence of Jiangbei New Area, the actual financial situation of Liuhe is like this, and it is difficult to give many preferential treatments to colleges and universities like other places, let alone turnkey.
On the whole, Liuhe's college dream has to wait a little longer. In a time of great uncertainty and a future with a clear population decline, the lack of universities is not necessarily a shortcoming.
The above is a synthesis of public information, and the views are only personal.
