How Transit-Oriented Development Could Transform Taiwan
Why do some urban transit nodes become thriving communities, while others remain isolated? We delve into transit-oriented development (TOD), the urban planning strategy behind Tokyo’s success, and how this strategy can help Taiwan build more walkable, livable and affordable cities. Our guests discuss housing, MRT expansion, private investment, station area redevelopment and the lessons Taiwan can learn from Japan and Singapore as it plans its next wave of urban growth. Featuring: Chiu Bing-yu (research fellow, Japan Transport and Tourism Research Institute) and Chiang Nan-Chih (director-general, Department of Urban Development, Taoyuan City) Host: Fred Shieh
