From 1937 the Japanese carried out a strict policy of "Japanization," and built almost 100 schools in Taipei alone. On what is now Wenchou St. and Chingtien St., next to Taihoku Imperial University (now National Taiwan University) and the Taiwan Governor-General High School (now National Taiwan Normal University) a highly cultured university residential district grew up.
日據時代晚期（1937 年後），日本人在台厲行「皇民化」教育，單單在台北就興建近百所學校，例如台北帝國大學（台灣大學）、台灣總督府高等學校（台灣師範大學）附近，也就是今天的溫州街、青田街一代，形成學風鼎盛的大學住宅區。
