摘要

Louvain-la-Neuve,University Town at the Crossroad Authors:Pierre Laconte and Jean Remy Year:2020 Publisher:Academia Eds IBAN:2806104947(294 pages,in French) In the 1960s,with the demand of creating a French-speaking uni-versity(Université Catholique de Louvain,UCL)out of Louvain(due to the Belgian institutional evolution),a new university town,Louvain-la-Neuve,was established.Louvain-la-Neuve is a success-ful exploration of the compact town model in Western Europe in the second half of the 20th century.It is a multi-functional regional center rather than just a campus and can be seen as a representative example of"Town and Gown"university.Moreover,the exploration model-that the university itself acts"as the planning establish-ment,which creates,builds and promotes the city"is also unique in the planning history of university towns(Laconte and Remy,2020;Dang Vu,2014).
