WDC Taipei 2016 Promotion Program
To showcase its development goals for World Design Capital 2016, Taipei City Government has revised and integrated existing urban development plans, injecting new thinking and resources. We have defined 16 core projects that seek to use innovative methods of urban governance and involve dedicated design workers in public policy making in order to address development issues that Taipei currently faces in four major areas—life quality and health, eco-sustainability, urban regeneration, and smart living. The city government has begun to implement these 16 core projects one by one since 2013, embarking on a collective urban transformation movement to make Taipei a “livable city”.
