| Popis: | 105 Granted that the City of Taipei is the jewel of Taiwan, it’s urban prospects often tainted by an asymmetric contrast of defunct as well as modern buildings, side by side. The promulgation of Urban Housing Rehabilitation Act (the Act) offers opportunities for a city to revive itself in terms of zoning, disaster management, and public infrastructure. Nonetheless, due to a stringent review system which provide thin economic incentives to the stakeholders, successful rehabilitation cases have been scant. There is an urgent need to rethink the balance between achieving the goal of this Act and the suspicious views towards the authority in granting the incentive to of the stakeholders. In this, a key factor surrounding any rehabilitation case is the “Scale” of rehabilitation coverage. This particular factor would dictate many aspects of urban rehabilitation, and will be taken as the core of this study. By comparing and analyzing more than a dozen cases in Taipei City, this study found a substantial gap between the Scale occupancy incentive which is actually granted by the Authority and the level of incentive which the Act allows. This shows that there is no need to further elevate the threshold of incentive in the Act. The question however is why most stakeholders choose to ignore the Scale incentive. The main reasons may include: (1) other class of incentives are comparably easier to achieve than Scale, (2) a larger scale rehabilitation generates a much higher threshold for unanimity among stakeholders, (3) the scarcity of land in Taipei City renders the baseline scale of 3,000 square meters unrealistic. The prime suggestions of this study include that (1) authority discretion in granting the Scale incentive should be relinquished, and (2) each Scale incentive level should be added 2 percent points, so that the Scale incentive becomes more viable. |
