III. Urban Planning and Construction

1. Expediting the Review of Urban Planning Projects

In 2022, the Urban Planning Commission (UPC) convened 21 meetings. During those meetings,
the UPC reviewed 250 urban planning projects proposed and approved by the special municipality
and county governments. In addition, to save time for the commission review, the ad hoc group,

formed by committee members, convened meetings to listen to project presentations first. Then,
the members made specific suggestions and proposed discussions before the minister signed and
approved the projects. The commission will urge the local authorities to expedite the review of urban
planning projects to enhance the efficiency of such reviews.

2. Subsidizing Local Governments for the “Townscape Renaissance and Revi-
talization Project”

“Townscape Renaissance and Revitalization Project” actively explores the resources and potential
of the local special natural and artificial landscapes. According to the concept and value of Landscape
Urbanism advocating aesthetics of nature, it removes the transitional standard construction method.

Consider the future of urban areas in the face of climate change and urban development. Landscape Ur-
banism adopts innovative and creative landscape design methods to integrate public open space, water,
and green environmental resources. It improves the overall urban landscape and living space quality.

From 2021 to 2022, the 21 bright spot projects, with a budget of NT$1.002 billion, and 204 poli-

cy-guiding projects, with a budget of NT$1.015 billion, were approved and subsidized. These have cre-
ated livable, charming cities and towns.
