Of the four government-run urban development projects in Taipei City, three are concentrated on the old district along Kuisui Street. "It's bad enough that the houses in this area are old and run down. Even more importantly, we can't allow the urban development gap to widen any further, because once some areas hit the skids it becomes much harder to revitalize them," says Pien.
而在台北市公辦的 4 件都市更新案當中，有 3 件集中在老市區歸綏街一帶，「除了這裡房舍老舊，更重要的其實是不能讓都市發展的差距拉大，」邊子樹說，「一旦差距拉大，機能退化的地區以後要想振興就會更困難。」
