New Taipei City promotes urban renewal and diversified urban renewal policies, aiming to help citizens improve the living environment of old buildings and encourage renewal projects to integrate public welfare facilities, green spaces and pedestrian-friendly environments to improve the quality of the surrounding public environment.
New Taipei City's urban renewal has made further progress. In September, two urban renewal projects in Sanchong District were successively approved by the city government. They are located around the MRT Cailiao Station, Sanchong Station and Xiansigong Station. The total site area is more than 2,300 square meters. The previous one was a 40-year-old seaside house. The other part of the sand house is an old industrial factory that is more than 40 years old. In the future, the building safety will be improved through reconstruction. At the same time, in line with the benchmark volume increase policy along the "Du Geng Er Arrow" main road in New Taipei City, long-term care institutions, public kindergartens and green open spaces will be introduced.
The New Taipei City Government stated that it has recently approved "20 land urban renewal projects, including land number 841, Guotian Section, Sanchong District" and "2 urban renewal projects, including land number 299, Zhongxing Section, Sanchong District." Among them, the Guotian Section Dugeng project has a site area of about 754 square meters. The current situation is a sea sand house with a total age of about 40 years, with a total of 87 households. Due to problems such as concrete spalling and steel bar corrosion in the building, reconstruction is urgent.
After the project is updated, it is expected to build a residential and commercial building with 21 floors above ground and 6 floors below ground. In addition to improving the safety issues of the original building, it also cooperates with the city government's updated two-arrow policy to apply for a benchmark volume increase. A community long-term care institution of about 165 square meters will be planned to increase local elderly care service resources. It will also leave about 184 square meters of green open space with friendly movement lines to improve the community walking environment.
Another Dugeng project in the Zhongxing Section is located near the MRT Xiansigong Station. The site area is about 1,558 square meters. Before the renovation, it was an old industrial factory that was more than 40 years old. In the future, it will be rebuilt into a factory office building with 12 floors above ground and 3 floors underground.
This case also applied for the city government's urban renewal policy, and plans to provide a public kindergarten of approximately 223 square meters, with 4 classes and 120 children expected to be accommodated. A 6-meter-wide green pedestrian open space will be set up along a section of Guangfu Road, the main artery, to increase the capacity of public facilities and services, and also improve the surrounding pedestrian environment and urban landscape.
The New Taipei City Urban and Rural Development Bureau stated that the city government continues to help citizens improve the living environment of old buildings through the Three Arrows of Urban Renewal and diversified urban renewal policies, and encourages renewal projects to integrate public welfare facilities, green spaces and pedestrian-friendly environments to promote the reconstruction of old buildings while also improving the quality of the surrounding public environment.
