University Town refers to the residential town model formed by higher education. Generally speaking, university towns were formed in Europe and first appeared in some countries with developed higher education, such as Britain and America.
In the process of university development, the scale of university development has gradually expanded, and some universities have gathered together, making the surrounding areas of universities or the university campus itself become towns with a certain scale, such as Humboldt area in Berlin, Heidelberg and Uppsala in Sweden. People call this gathering of institutions of higher learning "University Town".
