Numerous global cities in East Asia, including Taipei, have faced serious global competition and crises relating to economic restructuring since the late 1980s. Similar to what has occurred in Western cities, these East Asian cities have proposed neoliberal urban policies and large-scale urban (re-)development projects to resolve these economic and urban development crises. Development projects in the Taipei Main Station Special District (TMSSD) are masterpieces of urban redevelopment in Taipei City that have occurred under the intertwining processes of neoliberalization and democratization. This study analyzes the development of the TMSSD to clarify how neoliberal policies have been institutionalized to drive property-led urban redevelopment. This study seeks to devise an empirical model of urban governance in Taipei by examining how power struggles between the state and market have been exercised, and attempts to identify what agencies have become the central agents that are developing the neoliberal city. |
