Accelerate urban renewal! Jiang Wanan’s new policy: the willingness threshold is lowered to 50%, and the floor area ratio of the street is increased to 300%.

In an exclusive interview with media personality Wang Qianqiu this morning (16th), Taipei Mayor Chiang Wanan announced that he would promote the city’s renewal policy and lower the willingness threshold for independent integration in the first phase of the current “7599” project from 75% to 50%. The city government will soon Trial calculations can be started for on-site assistance; in addition, for the street area of more than 3,000 square meters in the third district, as long as it is close to the MRT station or the waterfront, the basic floor area ratio will be increased from 225% to 300%, and public facilities such as childcare and sunshine will be introduced.

The Taipei City Government held an impromptu press conference this afternoon. Chiang Wanan pointed out that after taking office, the first stage of the public update threshold was lowered from 90% to 75%. The number of public update cases was 2.4 times that before taking office, and 1.3 times that of the other five cities combined. He said that after continuous visits and active communication, it was decided to lower the standards. As long as more than half of the residents agree, the city government will immediately help the residents with trial calculations and explanations. In the follow-up, if the willingness reaches 90%, we will assist in the trial calculation of the rights value before and after the update, and simulate the future housing types; after the housing selection rate reaches 90%, the implementers will promote the urban renewal project and publicly solicit investors.

Jiang Wanan said that the most difficult thing is the integration of wishes in the first stage. Faced with complex property rights and too many households, it often takes several years to communicate and coordinate among households. This time the threshold has been lowered to 50%. He believes that more indicators can be pushed forward faster in the future.

The second new policy is what everyone has been discussing for a long time. When will Taipei City be able to increase the volume of residential areas from 225% to 300%? Neighboring counties and cities such as New Taipei and Taoyuan have higher volumes than Taipei City. After discussions between the city government team and experts, they hope that conditions will be met and more public sector services will be introduced into the city, so a large-scale urban renewal project will be launched.

Jiang Wanan explained that in the future, as long as the area reaches more than 3,000 square meters and is located near MRT stations or waterfronts, the city government will increase the volume to 300%, and the volume will be allocated to introduce public sector facilities including daycare, kindergarten, nursing, and long-term care services. In the future, through such broad-scale urban renewal, public benefits will be created, and even libraries, sports centers, elderly care, and happy residences will provide a living environment for many young friends, newlyweds, or families with young children.

For example, he gave an example of the Zhongshan Administrative Park currently under construction by the city government, which was the part that was demolished in the past. The site has a location advantage; another demonstration case is the renewal of the Nangang New Administrative Center, which is located in a transportation hub and is also combined with the rapidly developing commercial area. In the future, the Nangang Administrative Center will be moved to the Nangang High-tech Land. In the future, the 0.7-hectare area of ​​the original site will be combined with the surrounding area for comprehensive renewal; the increased volume will be introduced into various commercial offices, etc.
