Urbanization Resulted In Development Without Sufficient Management of the Alluvial Plains. Following
Some Severe Flooding In the 1960S, and In Order to Fulfill the Increased Demand For Building Land, The
Government Devised a Flood-Control Plan That Included the Construction of a 117-Kilometer-Long Floodwall

The Vision Presented In This Paper Is to Make a City For People, to Repair the Relationship Between The
Tamsui and Its Peopleby Increasing Access and Public Areas on Both Sides of the Floodwall, Allowing The
River to Be Reintegrated into Taipei As an Extension of the City. the Ability to Replicate This Timely Action On
A Large Scale, Through a Reactivation-Capable Process of the Riverfront, to Mend the Original Connection
Between People, Taipei, and the Tamsui River, Aims to Define a Shift Toward a People-Centered Urbanism
And an Environmentally Conscious Society, With the Goal of Becoming a Source of Hope and Inspiration
For Our Cities' Aspirations to Build a Better Future.
