Roads are another important prerequisite for a modern city, so in 1901 the colonial government implemented an "urban restructuring plan." It tore down the city walls, and built many six-lane roads (including what is now Aikuo East Road). Masonry from the city walls was used to lay sewers.
現代城市成立的條件就是道路，一九○一年實施「市區改正計畫」，拆掉城牆、闢出愛國東路等多條三線道路，城牆石材則被利用來鋪設下水溝。
