History
Back in 1989 when Xianlin was an undeveloped rural property of Nanjing, the government decided to develop this area to meet the demands of urban expansion. The area was planned as a higher education hub in 1995, seven years before the construction began. In 2001, the area was officially named Xianlin University City.[2] The first university that opened its campus in Xianlin was Nanjing Normal University.
In November 2011, an Undergraduate Education Teach Council was established by Nanjing Normal University, Nanjing University, Nanjing University of Finance and Economics, Nanjing University of Posts and Telecommunications, and Nanjing University of Chinese Medicine. The council was created to promote modern higher education practices to attract international university students and keep pace with new trends in education.[3]
In 2011, the School of Geography of Nanjing Normal University conducted a major research project to evaluate different aeration methods for removing high levels of nitrogen from a heavily polluted river in the Xianlin University Town.[4]
The "Xianlin Science City Development Consortium" was formed by 12 universities on February 25, 2012, to cooperate on research, sharing resources, event planning and the development of a "science city", with each university having its own science facilities.[5]
Lu Bing, the deputy mayor of Nanjing at the time, was responsible for the oversight of the Management Committee of Xianlin University City as of 2014.[6]
