Since 2020, Fu Jen Catholic University has been implementing USR initiatives. These initiatives have rallied faculty and students from various departments within the university, harnessing their skills to collaboratively address the issues confronting Xinzhuang, Wugu and Taishan. Through ongoing efforts to contribute to regional development, the university aims to concretely pursue the goals of strengthening our local connections, nurturing talents and promoting environmental sustainability. The essay presents the preliminary outcomes of a professor from the Department of Landscape Architecture participating in the Xinzhuang Sustainable Learning Environment Project. The saying “First-Tainan, Second-Lukang, Third-Monga” is widely recognized in Taiwan, however, the saying “First-Tainan, Second-Lukang, Third- Xinzhuang” is less familiar. In fact, during the Qing Dynasty, Xinzhuang enjoyed prosperity and earned itself the epithet “A thousand ships grace Xinzhuang Port, a thousand lights and lanterns illuminate the marketplace.” Based on registration records from 1935, it’s noted that the irrigation area of the Hòu Cun Zùn (後村圳) in Xinzhuang surpassed that of Taipei’s Liugong Canal by approximately a quarter. However, while the Liugong Canal is widely recognized today, the Hòu Cun Zùn remains relatively obscure. In recent years, urban redevelopment projects in the Xinzhuang area have led to the gradual disappearance of its original agricultural and industrial landscapes, replaced by grid-like street zoning typical of urban renewal projects. As a consequence, both tangible and intangible cultural assets have dwindled. There’s a general lack of awareness among Fu Jen Catholic University students regarding the cultural heritage of Xinzhuang, particularly among those born in the district. This has resulted in a weakened cultural foundation. Situated in the Wenzaijun urban land consolidation redevelopment zone adjacent to Fu Jen University, the covered waterways of Gongqi and Gongba, dating back over 250 years to the Qing Dynasty, have witnessed the transformation of the old agricultural landscape of greater Xinzhuang due to industrialization, urbanization, and urban renewal. Recognizing the educational significance of Xinzhuang ’s ancient waterway landscape, this project views it as a vital university social responsibility of Fu Jen Catholic University. Consequently, it advocates for collaborative restoration efforts with the New Taipei City Government to preserve the historical waterway (Houcunzun) flowing through the Fu Jen University area for future generations. Through the Fu Jen Catholic University Social Responsibility Program, the project aims to impart the spirit of Xinzhuang ’s water culture, thereby raising awareness among the people about the importance of Xinzhuang and its water environment. The proposed solution is to utilize the university’s social responsibility program to lead students in constructing a network for the Xinzhuang-Wugu-Taishan districts based on the concept of green infrastructure. Initially, the Fu Jen University campus and surrounding newly developed parks will be designated as the nexus of the network. Then, the roads, roadside trees, existing and new waterway systems in the redevelopment area will be used to conceptualize the construction of corridor facilities. This approach aims to achieve the goals of sustainable development and cultural heritage preservation in the cultural and educational district. Additionally, the initiative will aid residents of Xinzhuang in reclaiming their local identity and value. By revitalizing old waterways, parks, and streams in the Wenzaizun urban land consolidation redevelopment zone, the project aims to enhance the functionality of green infrastructure and establish the "Greater Xinzhuang Eco-Museum" to showcase the area’s rich cultural heritage.
