Satrapia is a consortium of individuals, companies, organizations and governments with the objective of participating in the creation of a university town in Central Asia.
A college town or university town is a community (often literally a Town, but possibly a small or medium sized Specialized City, or in some cases a neighborhood or a district of a city) which is dominated by its university population. The university may be large, or there may be several smaller institutions such as liberal arts colleges clustered, or the residential population may be small, but college towns in all cases are so dubbed because the presence of the educational institution(s) pervades economic and social life. Many local residents may be employed by the university – which may be the largest employer in the community, many businesses cater primarily to the university, and the students’ population may outnumber the local population.
