Urban planning in Taiwan

Urban planning in Taiwan is the direction of infrastructure development in Taiwan. It reflects an interplay between rapid industrial growth, cultural preservation, and sustainable development. The nation has undertaken major efforts to integrate comprehensive planning across administrative levels, from special districts and redevelopment zones to smart city platforms and urban-rural landscape policies, to balance modernization with community needs and ecological resilience.

Taiwan’s urban planning is governed primarily by the Urban Planning Act, which delineates three types of plans: city/town plans, countryside street plans, and special district plans, distinguishing between new urban developments and renewal of older, dilapidated areas. Local governments periodically update their plans, aligning with national policies on sustainable land use, green space, disaster mitigation, and urban–rural integration.
