Since the economy of Keelung city had declined in the latter mid of 1980’s, the youth in Taiwan is now experiencing the situation of the “declined generation”.(崩世代) In 2014, through the connection of new social media, the youth had took the streets and stepped forward defending the importance of local development in Taiwan, which is called “the Sun Flower Movement”. In this study, one can see how the trend of youth participation was formed, and the path of “the third power” in politics to be deliberated. In 2014, the culture workers from every ages in Keelung gathered together for the movement of C23 action, fighting for reservations of the west no.2 and no.3 wharf warehouse and asking for the coexistence between economic and cultural development. And lots of youth people groups have sprung up in Keelung since then, bringing back into Keelung the essence of modern developments and social movements in Taipei. These youth people groups, such as Keelung Youth Front(基隆青年陣線), KeelungRain(雞籠霧雨), and Wa’s up studio(阿普蛙工作室), etc., have different dispositions, habiuts and capitals, and they have divergent interests in political, cultural, new civil movement fields. The youth people group in Keelung give rise to the youth movement of urban renaissance in Keelung, and it also indirectly contributes to the rotation of ruling parties in Keelung. The youth movement of urban renaissance is continuously interacting with the “new politics”. This article considers that “the integration of ages” is the key to understanding the new politics in cities of Taiwan.
