"Over the past two years, we have discovered that Taipei City is not nearly as cold and lonely as we had once imagined," says William Chen with excitement. In order to expand participation, the city's Urban Development Department this year has begun to train "seed planning masters." Two-thirds of the 48 "seed students" are professionals, including seven who have doctorates.
「兩年下來，我們發現台北市民一點也不像想像中那樣冷漠疏離」，陳威仁興奮地說，為了擴大參與，都發局今年又嘗試做「種子規劃師」的培訓，錄取的四十多位種子學員之中，三分之二有專業技師執照，其中更不乏有博士資格者。
