從「都市治理」到「公司治理」：都市更新的可行性探討

From “Urban Governance” to “Corporate Governance”: A Study on the Feasibility of Urban Renewal

為了解決都市發展的瓶頸，重建都市中的窳陋地區，臺灣政府在1998年擬定了「都市更新條例」，試圖藉由輔導與獎勵並進的方式，重新活化都市的土地利用。立法的本質意在追求所有都市更新參與者多贏的局面，然而實施的成效並不特別彰顯。先前研究認為參與者之間彼此缺乏「信任」，是都市更新案失敗的主要原因。本研究認為，藉由仿效當代企業管理之「公司治理」機制，可以解決原不動產權利人們與實施者的「代理」問題，有效提升參與者間的信任程度，進而增加都市更新案的成功機會。

To overcome the hurdle of urban development, to rebuild the outdated regions of cities, and to revitalize urban land use, the Taiwanese government legislated the “Urban Renewal Act” in 1998. The Act uses economic incentives and government assistance to ensure that all parties benefit from urban renewal, but the results are often unsatisfactory. Studies indicate that the lack of trust among participants is the main reason for urban renewal failure; therefore, this paper argues that the mechanisms of “corporate governance” in contemporary business management theories could be the solution. By reducing the risk of moral hazard and adverse selection of agents, corporate governance increases the possibility of reaching a collective agreement among participants. In conclusion, the change in focus from urban governance to corporate governance may provide a new direction for urban renewal.
