Entering the 21st century, Taiwanese cities face issues of sustainable development. Previous mistaken population estimates have led to problems such as surplus of residential areas, damage to the natural landscape, serious pollution of rivers, a decline in quality of public facilities, and a shortage of green spaces. The time has come to reflect on these and make improvements.
進入二十一世紀，台灣都市面臨永續發展的課題，之前錯誤的人口評量，讓住宅區過剩、自然景觀遭破壞，河川污染嚴重、公共設施品質低落、綠地普遍不足等，如今都已到了徹底檢討、修正的時候。
