"There does not need to be a conflict between the needs of urban development and historical building preservation," says Tseng Shu-cheng, an assistant professor in Tamkang University's Architecture Department. Preserving historic buildings or spaces is not intended to stop time and halt development. On the contrary it is intended to use their historical essence to make a new and creative use of the space.
「都市開發與古蹟保存其實並不衝突」，淡江大學建築系副教授曾旭正強調，把城市中有歷史的建築物或空間保留下來，並不是為了凍結時間，停止發展；相反的，是藉用其歷史質素在空間中進行新的創造。
