Taking the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area as an example, this study examined the development of cross-border educational infrastructure in China and its spatial effects. Based on the observation of multiple cases in the bay area, this study found that the impact of cross-border educational infrastructure on urban space is mainly reflected in three dimensions: Material, symbolic, and contextual. Among them, the material spatial fix is manifested in the reshaping of the urban physical spaces and network textures by the cross-border educational infrastructure. The study found that the cross-border higher education institutions in the bay area can only be regarded as an educational enclave, whose material impact on urban space is merely reflected in the improvement of urban infrastructure as well as the gentrification of surrounding communities, but lacks substantial help to citywide development pattern and texture reconstruction. Compared with the material spatial fix of the city, these cross-border educational institutions have a clear symbolic spatial fix effect on urban space, which is mainly reflected in their obvious role in urban brand building, urban development vision supporting, and urban cultural soft power improving. From the contextual lens, except for providing a unique overseas learning experience at the campus scale, the cross-border educational infrastructure is severely lacking contextual communication with both the place where these institutions moved from and where they moved to at the city and community scales. This study provides some reflections on the (urban) spatial effects of cross-border educational infrastructure in the non-neoliberal social contexts that can be read as a dialogue with existing theoretical and conceptual frameworks for analyzing this emerging phenomenon. It also provides some non-pedagogical reflections on cross-border higher education institution operation and related policy making from the perspective of geography, and to some extent, has reference value for education-oriented regional and urban development decisions.
