Urban Renewal in Taiwan

As more of Taiwan’s manufacturing base is moved to China, the land where many Taiwanese factories and warehouses once stood is becoming fallow. The current issue of Dialogue magazine explores how such areas in Taipei, Kaohsiung and Taiwan’s other cities might be retasked and redeveloped. For inspiration, Dialogue points to how New York is contending with its own redevelopment of Hudson Yards (on the westside of Manhattan) and Battery Park City, including how New York’s bid for the Olympics fits into the renewal plans. The current issue also discusses urban redevelopment in Barcelona.
