In Taiwan, the urban renewal approach has shifted towards 'repair over demolition' to ensure public safety and preserve cultural heritage, according to expert opinions. The emphasis is placed on maintaining good cityscape, ensuring people's safety, and conserving cultural heritage, rather than solely focusing on demolition and reconstruction for increased property value, which has led to safety hazards and neglect of cultural legacy. Recommendations include prioritizing maintenance and repair over total reconstruction, along with proposed legislation amendments to enhance building safety and encourage preservation efforts, aiming for a more sustainable and culturally rich urban development.
