As a phenomenon of higher education, "University Town" first appeared in some developed countries such as Britain and America. It usually refers to the continuous expansion of the university's own scale in the process of university development. Some universities gather together, and the surrounding university or university campus itself becomes a town with a certain scale, which is usually called "University Town". The Education Dictionary interprets "university town" as "a community built around a university". The population is generally 500-65438+million, which provides a good learning environment and convenient accommodation, transportation and other conditions for college students. Such as Polonia in Italy, Cambridge and Oxford in Britain, Tsukuba in Japan, etc. [1] The function of the university town is mainly to provide social security for the university's infrastructure and logistics system, and attract universities to run schools in the city through certain mechanisms. There are two main ways to form foreign university towns: one is naturally formed, such as Boston in the United States, Oxford and Cambridge in the United Kingdom, which are naturally formed after more than 100 years of history; The other is active construction, such as Missouri in the United States and Tsukuba University Town in Japan, which was jointly built by the state, local governments, universities and enterprises with the rapid development of higher education after World War II.

In China, the construction of university town is another major project in the field of higher education after the merger and expansion of universities in the 1990s. In August, 2000, Langfang Oriental University Town kicked off, followed by Shanghai Songjiang, Beijing Changping and other university towns. In just two years, more than 50 university towns have been planned and built nationwide, involving 2 1 province and city. In 2002, the investment was 32.589 billion yuan, and the total campus building area reached14,369,700 square meters, accommodating 134 colleges and universities with 597,000 students. [2] Today, the construction of university towns is still surging, scrambling to make "big" articles, and a considerable part of them occupy cultivated land.

The reasons for the rapid rise of China University Town are: the premise of rejuvenating the country through science and education, the background of college enrollment expansion, and the great opportunity of accelerating urbanization. Compared with the traditional school-running mode, the university town has the characteristics of "government community management, * * * enjoyment of educational resources, municipal infrastructure, socialization of teachers and students' lives, and marketization of operating mechanism". Researchers generally believe that the construction of university town is conducive to "expanding the supply of higher education, promoting economic development, advancing the process of urbanization and improving the quality of running schools", creating an "intensive" development path and injecting vitality into the development of higher education in China. However, behind the "vigorous development" of university towns, there are also some problems, or there are huge hidden dangers for development. The fundamental reason is the dislocation of development values. If it is not repaired in time, it will evolve into a realistic "siege" and "big enclosure" movement, repeating the mistakes of building economic development zones in various places in previous years. Therefore, it is of great practical significance to understand the value dislocation of China University Town in theory and guide its restoration in practice.

First, the value dislocation of the construction of China University Town.

The so-called value dislocation means that the value orientation has left its original or proper position. In the construction and development of China University Town, there is a phenomenon of value dislocation, which is mainly manifested in three aspects: creative planning dislocation, development model dislocation and survival concept dislocation. Now described as follows:

(A) the emergence of planning dislocation

Planning is a comprehensive long-term development plan and blueprint for action. In the planning of China University Town, there are the following dislocations:

1, land use planning tends to be larger.

Some local governments lack proper argumentation on the necessity and basic conditions of university town construction, and are uncertain about the orientation of university town, so they are eager to achieve success. As a result, the university town is getting bigger and bigger. Langfang Oriental University Town covers an area of 6.7 square kilometers, Hunan Yuelu Mountain University Town covers an area of 44 square kilometers, and Henan Zhengzhou University Town and Hubei Huangjiahu University Town are both 50 square kilometers. The first phase of "Guangzhou University Town" which has been started covers an area of 17 square kilometers, and the second phase is planned to be 43 square kilometers. Nanjing Xianlin University Town has a planned area of 70 square kilometers. ...

Most provinces in China are building or planning to build university town projects, ranging from one or two to eight or nine, which integrate education, commerce, real estate and entertainment. In more than 50 university towns across the country, a considerable part of the construction land is cultivated land, and most of the land is allocated by administration, so the compensation for farmers' land acquisition is low. China is a big agricultural country, and land is the root of farmers. This large occupation of cultivated land is short-sighted and unsustainable. Just as Xiaoguwei Island, located in Panyu District, Guangzhou, is in full swing to build "China No.1 University Town", local residents said: "When planning the university town, it was said that houses could not go up the mountain and trees could not be cut down. Now that the top of the mountain has been leveled, I don't know how many trees have been cut down, and the ecology and climate of the island have been destroyed. This is the lung of Guangzhou!
