Cities are not blank slates, and the earlier urban issues are treated, the less suffering and lower costs will be incurred. Treating the 'urban disease' involves addressing the root causes; otherwise, it will result in even greater consequences. With rapid urbanization in the 50s and 60s in Taiwan, insufficient building regulations led to issues like external air conditioners posing dangers. As building materials and methods change with time, experts warn of the dangers posed by aging structures and external attachments. The responsibility of maintaining safe urban environments falls on both the government and citizens.
