Taipei’s disappearing green space

By Huang Jui-mao 黃瑞茂

I call on the city government to turn over an equal-sized area of publicly owned land in the central part of the city for use as parkland, and the responsible thing to do would be to use it to build permanent ecologically oriented parks. I sincerely hope that when the Flora Expo draws to a close, it will mark an end to the degradation of Taipei’s parks.

Huang Jui-mao is an associate professor of architecture at Tamkang University.
