This paper attempts to understand the process of city form-shaping for Tai-Chung city: how Tai-Chung city accepted its role as the governor's new homeland; how Tai-Chung city was treated as an overseas homeland and constructed accordingly ; how Tai-Chung city was planned as another Kyoto. There were four periods involved: the initial development, creating the Kyoto spirit, the forming of the geographic center of Taiwan, and the development of an overseas colonial center. The paper tries to show how the governor and elites' concept and imagination also influenced the shaping of the city.
