Another campus another 60 years of problems
In the 50's Kuwait came over a huge development phase that manifested it self in all aspects of life. In parallel line a need to educate the population emerged and the government found it self obliged to fulfill such requirement in order to pull alongside with accruing status. Accordingly, hundreds of millions where invested to establish an educational system that will fulfill the new era necessities. Part of this investment was Kuwait university campuses.
Ten years later, because the state was small, the population rate was low and the growth was raped the state toke a lot of improvised and kind of fast decision to design and build those facilities. The municipality allocated and approved locations for the different and scattered campuses of Kuwait University. Most of the campuses were situated in the middle of low raise residential areas. This particular decision lead to an unanticipated problems to the locals, ranging from daily heavy traffic to intrusion of locale residence privacy.
Now we are in 2007 and the problem still exists and the locales, the University employees and the students still suffering from the same damn decisions. The happy news I heard is that the university is planning to move there campus in Khaldiah to another area and to be honest I am not sure if the new location is adequate, or faces the same constrains the as his predecessor.
Now The case of Kuwait University could be some haw regarded as special case and problem with along history, but the thing that I don't understand is why in hill the municipality is repeating the same old mistake in their zoning for the new privet universities such as American University Of Kuwait in Salmiyah district, Australian College and Gulf University for Science and Technology in Mishref!!!
Mishref is a new residential area that will face the same fate Khaldya, Kaifan and Alodaileyah faced. Those universities will draw more than 3000 human being to the small poor land of Mishref surly this will cause a lot of headache to the residence nearby and will jeopardize their standards of living. Kuwait why don’t we learn from our mistakes!!!
