New Urban Regeneration

-Social Justice-Social Justice

J ti f EnvironmentJustice of EnvironmentRegeneration does not mean to construct more ‘fashionable’ and ‘profitable’ buildings bythe will of market rather it should develop a more livable sustainable and fair environmentthe will of market, rather, it should develop a more livable, sustainable and fair environmentfor citizens. Thus, we reject the pervasive planning concept in Taipei that refers to thelarge-scale, over-crowded and property-led regeneration. Through redesigning this land,

k t id i t ll f i dl d bliwe seek to provide an environmentally friendly, open and public space.

Justice of Social serviceJustice of Social serviceRegeneration should care more about the basic need and future of our children and youth,rather than the profits and investments of developers. Too expensive cost of social services,p p p ,such as nursery, leisure and (after-school) childcare center has made many citizens,particularly the common young couple both working for full-time jobs, unaffordable toprovide the appropriate and decent cares for their children We suggest this regenerationprovide the appropriate and decent cares for their children. We suggest this regenerationproject should provide the affordable and public services to the families with less wealth

Urban renaissance of Taipeishould be for the many, not for the few. Rethinking the social justice of land use is crucialin this neo-liberalist and unjust period. The purpose of regenerating this public land shouldb f th bli lf t f th it li t i t t O i i f thi l d i th t itbe for the public welfare, not for the capitalist interests. Our vision of this land is that itcould be the ‘first’ and ‘social’ experiment of developing social housing in Taipei…
