Chen Yun-chung describes this process as "unity and struggle." Without the government's regulations and spending controls, it would be impossible to implement similar public works projects. Nevertheless, when confronted with an inflexible administrative system, urban planners have no choice but to think of extreme means of communication, even using the pressure of public opinion, to struggle for the people's right to control their living space.
陳允中形容，這個過程可說是「聯合又鬥爭」，沒有政府的政策、經費支持，類似的公共工程無法進行；但是，面對缺乏彈性的行政體制，專業者又不得不想盡辦法溝通，甚至動員民眾施壓，為居民爭取對空間的自主性。
