Chongqing University Town is a comprehensive development zone of national key institutions of higher learning led by higher education. There are many institutions of higher learning, such as Chongqing University, Southwest University and Chongqing University of Posts and Telecommunications, as well as hospitals and scientific research institutions. Because there are many colleges and universities in the park, it is called "University Town".
With the increase of people's investment in education and the development of higher education, areas similar to "university towns" have been built in various places. These areas will build a comprehensive park integrating higher education, scientific research, culture, sports and commerce, aiming at promoting regional economic development and improving the level and quality of higher education.
