The Start-up Campus

Concept development 2015

I’ve got a great idea! Economy From the TNO report: “Knowledge as an economic engine ‘ - December 2009 An investment in higher education is an investment in the urban economy of the future. Recent studies have shown that the knowledge economy provides jobs, economic value and innovation. And the student also plays its role in it. A calculation of TNO shows that each student is contributing Euro 25.000,- to the urban economy annually. This study is concerns the spatial-economic impacts of higher education students insight in thirteen Dutch cities. The results are also useful in other university cities such as Amsterdam. The study reveals that the “student economy” shows an important facilitating factor in strengthening a local or regional economy. From the TNO study, we learn that cities with higher education institutions where many students live, are very attractive attribute as a location for research and innovative companies. They have and keep all those clever people at their fingertips. The students of today are the knowledge workers of tomorrow. In short, a city that creates opportunities through knowledge clustering and provides space for proper housing for students and graduates, is working on a better economic development for all citizens. Even in these difficult economic times for colleges, universities, university medical centers, municipalities and businesses, the new economy will be an attractive prospect to work with the student housing corporations and urban locations to join forces and so still take advantage of knowledge as an economic engine.

Projected growth in International students

The Start-Up City From the research: ‘The Campus City Project’ - Burton Hamfelt / OeverZaaijer June 2013 If cities want to engage in talent migration, high level decisions need to be made in order to accommodate the unique demands of an emerging innovation based economy. Universities, cities and industry need to collaborate better together towards forming new kinds of educational environments that often do not comply with the traditional campus model. The Campus City Project in turn asks, “Can the next generation campus be an urban model for the city in the future?” There is growing evidence on how cities with both universities and strong connection with research and innovation outperform other more industrial based cities in their economic growth and resilience to change. Campus City Project takes this starting point as a basis for exploring what the knowledge and innovation based economy can mean to the city of Amsterdam in the future when examined from the perspective of the increasingly mobile student. The next generation campus is about migrating away from dedicated closed off and static knowledge based environments to exploiting the spatial consequences of distributing education, industry and student start ups within the city as a closed circuit; the ubiquitous campus. Campus City Project literally circulates around this new type of campus start up model proliferating itself as a responsive and interactive system empowering and kick starting urban regeneration.

Studentrepeneur Amsterdam is a great learning environment. It has the scale of a campus and an ever growing supply of organizations, institutes, start ups and companies within reach by bike or tram. This city is a unique place where talents flourish and professionals develop alongside. The question is, can we provide a hybrid learning-environment in which graduate students can have living/working spaces, in line with the wishes and requirements of our time? The student economy is one of the most vital and growing markets. The doubling of the amount of university students in Amsterdam in the past 10 years has given new impetus and economic engine to Amsterdam and other university cities to study and exploit this phenomenon. Although the cost of education is rising, a considerable market can be scouted through the growing numbers of student businesses, in which we can help bring down costs. A variety of new spatial, social, and micro-financial structures is imaginable through the growth of the student economy, in which it can be facilitated and given shape. On the basis of this new urban reality, student-initiated projects are used as a cost-efficient way of motivating and stimulating knowledge-based talent. A new economy that can be literally â&#x20AC;&#x153;kickedâ&#x20AC;? into action. Students of knowledgebased talent worldwide remain are on the prowl, in search of new challenges and experiences. It is in this context that the role of the cities to connect to this talent for the benefit of their own empowerment, innovation and new markets.

Concept Student populations in Amsterdam are quickly rising, while the need for traditional large scale urban planned housing projects is declining. Young ambitious people and innovative companies are flocking to the cities in search of higher quality living and working spaces that either do not exist or are too large or expensive for graduates and start ups. There is an undeveloped market targeting forward thinking students and start ups who want to share spaces and cross breed ideas. Living and working together is needed in new and affordable ways. What kind of spatial urban conditions are best suited for the young enterprising and creative class? Amsterdam with itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;third Universityâ&#x20AC;? Amsterdam Metropolitan Solutions (AMS) has recently be given a substantial grant and new location to kick start a new and more in-tune university research environment dedicated to solving the urban problems and challenges facing cities today. Can we start to imagine new forms of housing in this way as well?
