According to the latest population statistics, of the more than 18 million people populating the island province of Taiwan, approximately 13,410,000 are concentrated into urban areas. The most startling fact about this is that cities account for only 9.4 % of the total land area.
據統計，目前自由中國台灣一千九百萬人口中，有一千三百四十一萬集中在面積僅佔全台百分之九點四的都市中，分享著都市生活的便利處與惱人處。
