Shen Boyang: Taipei’s award is the cumulative result of the efforts of successive mayors

Shen Boyang, the Taipei mayoral candidate of the Democratic Progressive Party, attended the river memorial ceremony at Dadaocheng Pier today (14th). Before the ceremony, he accepted media interviews.

Taipei Mayor Chiang Wanan will leave for Singapore tonight to receive the "Lee Kuan Yew World City Award Special Award". Yesterday, "Isn't receiving the award just the achievement of municipal construction?" in response to Green Camp's question about "focusing on municipal administration." In this regard, Shen Boyang, a candidate for mayor of Taipei from the Democratic Progressive Party, was interviewed at the Dadaocheng Pier River Commemoration Ceremony and said that Taipei City’s award was due to the efforts of successive mayors and formed the way the international community views the city today.

Shen Boyang said that Taipei City won the "Lee Kuan Yew World City Award Special Award". Mention)", some of the policies made the judges feel special, such as Jiang Wanan's "fresh milk" combined with digital management, Chen Shui-bian's "garbage does not fall on the ground", Ma Ying-jeou's "garbage fee collection", Hao Longbin's "YouBike", Ma Dahao's "one district, one sports center", Ke Wenzhe's "Xinxinshan Linear Park Renovation", etc., through the efforts of successive mayors, municipal achievements have been gradually accumulated, forming the way Beicheng is viewed by the world.

Beijing City won the award related to transportation and environmental issues. Shen Boyang further pointed out that there is still a lot of room for improvement. Recently, it has also encountered bottlenecks such as food safety and rat infestations. The judges look at the innovative solutions proposed for urban governance, rather than considering what is happening now. If you want to continue the city's prosperity, take the rat problem as an example. Countries around the world have proposed diverse creative solutions. If Taipei City can also come up with plans, I believe that in future international competitions, it can go forward and strive for the first prize (this year's first prize winner is London). Everyone is concerned about how Taipei City can solve the problems it faces through technology and governance capabilities.

Shen Boyang emphasized that Taipei City's award reflects the accumulation of achievements of citizens, civil servants, and each mayor. It makes citizens happy and makes the city feel proud. However, winning the award cannot cover up the issues that citizens are concerned about over the past few weeks, such as rats and hantavirus, which may even kill people; the public security issue of escape rooms that lead to fatal tragedies; market reconstruction, mountain climbing, and the connection of transportation networks. These important municipal issues that concern citizens must be taken seriously, and I hope Taipei City can get better.
