Discover how Taipei Mayor Chiang Wan-an’s ’two funds, three policies’ initiative aims to transform the city with financial and policy support for school renovations, market upgrades, and Shezidao development. Learn about the central government’s response to these proposals.

The Taipei Urban Planning Commission has approved the removal of height restrictions on buildings around the National Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall, except for the north side due to flight path restrictions. This policy shift, effective from January next year, aims to revitalize the aging infrastructure in the Daan district and address issues such as leaking roofs. The height limit, which had been in place for over 30 years, will be increased from 60 meters to 120 meters under the new regulation. However, buildings on the north side of Zhongxiao East Road must still comply with Songshan Airport’s height restriction of 95.49 meters. The height restrictions also apply to buildings behind the Presidential Office, ranging from 50 to 78 meters, to protect the capital’s skyline.

The high number of aging buildings is causing concern for Taiwan’s residents, particularly in densely populated cities prone to frequent earthquakes.
