Why It Matters

Taipei Mayor Chiang Wanan announced that after successfully winning Huida's settlement, he will plan to relocate Songshan Airport and use the relocated 300 hectares of land to build the Taipei AI Park and build residences and parks. A week ago, when Democratic Progressive Party Taipei mayoral candidate Shen Boyang held a Da'an District Soap Box event in Lungong Park, some people also proposed the concept of relocating and renovating Songshan Airport into an AI city.

Taipei Mayor Chiang Wanan held a press conference today (8th) and announced that after successfully striving for Huida to settle down, it will plan to relocate Songshan Airport and use the relocated 300 hectares of land to build the Taipei AI Park and build residences and parks. Coincidentally, a week ago on October 1, Taipei mayoral candidate Shen Boyang of the Democratic Progressive Party held a soap box event in Da'an District in Lugong Park. A member of the public also raised the concept of relocating and rebuilding AI cities. Shen Boyang also put forward his opinions on the spot.

Mr. He, a citizen, pointed out that traffic in Neihu is difficult. Most people have misplaced their focus and placed it in the Neihu District. But the focus should be on the other side of the Neihu. The existence of Songshan Airport has resulted in very few bridges connecting Taipei City and Neihu District. With the completion and opening of the third terminal of Taoyuan Airport next year, Songshan Airport should be decommissioned. That land is very large. It is large and can build more bridges, giving Neihu commuters more choices; in addition, the original site of the airport can be used to build museums, marriage and childcare residences, technology residences, etc. Next to enter the AI era, it can also be used as an AI data center, which are good directions. Taipei City does not need a mascot mayor, but a mayor who can lead Taipei City into an AI city.

Shen Boyang bluntly said that the discussion on this topic is very broad. If Taipei City wants to become an AI city, he puts the relevant political opinions on Beishike and only talks about think tanks, investment promotion, sandboxes, etc. Regarding the construction of the cross-river bridge from Neihu to Songshan, Shen Boyang said that he had in-depth discussions with the Water Resources Department and the Ministry of Transport in the past. The key to restricting the construction of the bridge was not entirely the height limit, but more importantly the "falling pier problem", which made it impossible to build a large-capacity automobile and motorcycle bridge.

It is for this reason that he recently proposed to give priority to building a "bicycle cross-river bridge" to make up for the last mile; in the future, it will cooperate with the start of the East Ring Road and surrounding residential planning to further ease the traffic in the inner lake. Even if Songshan Airport continues to operate at this stage, we can still discuss adding new bridges. This is not a conflict.

In response to Taipei City's vision to develop an AI city, Shen Boyang believes that Taipei City's existing state-owned land is richer than imagined. Even if Songshan Airport is not developed, many locations still have development potential. He believes that the most suitable location for developing the AI ​​industry is still "North Shiko"; but now, the transportation network planning of North Shiko must be dealt with in advance. Otherwise, in the future, it may become a blockage of Neihu and North Shiko. If both directions are blocked, it will be over.

What to Watch

    Likely · Within years

  • Beishike will become a key area for the development of AI industry in Taipei City, but transportation network planning needs to be solved first

    Possible · Within years

Open Questions

  • What are the development funding sources and budget size of the Taipei AI Park?
  • When will the construction of the bicycle cross-river bridge from Neihu to Songshan start?

Denying that the convening committee is "containing" Shen Boyang Xu Qiaoxin: It is more important to review the additional budget and review the shortage of manpower in the national army

The results of the election of convening members of the Legislative Yuan Foreign Affairs and National Defense Committee for the new session were released. Kuomintang legislator Xu Qiaoxin and DPP legislator Wang Yichuan were elected as the new convening members. When interviewed, Xu Qiaoxin emphasized that she had not served as a convening committee member in the past, so she was consulted, and called on legislators to focus on their duties. She also responded to the outside world's interpretation that her election was a "check" on Shen Boyang, a legislator of the Democratic Progressive Party and Taipei mayoral candidate on the same committee, saying that she hoped that all committee members would focus on defense and diplomacy issues and pay attention to the shortage of national military manpower and the delay in the purchase of US military.

Taipei Mayor Chiang Wanan announced plans to move Songshan Airport and free up 300 hectares of land to build the Taipei AI Park after Huida settled in Taipei, and also built residential buildings and green parks. Political worker Zhou Xuan criticized this move as a "big move" to avoid marginalization in the election campaign. Physician Du Chengzhe questioned the problem of water and electricity supply. Taking Kaohsiung Mayor Chen Chi-mai's problem of water supply at the TSMC plant as an example, he pointed out that the lack of forward-looking planning will lead to the AI ​​park turning into a "BI" city.
