Development after this was not controlled by the people of Taipei, points out Hsieh You-wen, professor of political science at Chinese Cultural University. While two-thirds of the city area was still empty, the Japanese military came to the city and began development on the imperialist model.
以後的發展就不是台北人所能控制的了。文化大學市政系主任謝有文指出，當城內三分之二還是荒煙蔓草之際，日本軍閥就已兵臨城下，在傳統市街中，注入帝國主義都市發展模式。
