That is, it takes a long period of time to know whether a city has carrying capacity and resilience.. However, while there is a growing concerns with sustainable development worldwide, the old district in Taichung is facing the crisis of recession and stagnating. Past experience tells us that a city will be unsustainable if urban policies emphasize merely on economic development, ignoring social and environmental needs. For this reason, the present study aims to deal with various issues of urban regeneration in the old district of Taichung according to the principles of sustainability
Conventional urban design usually views the city in terms of its administrative district. However, a city is not an isolated entity; rather its operation is woven into a complex system that includes various scales of space. Therefore, a sustainable urban design needs to consider the issuses of a site from the pespectives of various scales. In light of the above discussions of sustainabal city, this study examines the old district in Taichung from three distinct scales, including that of city, neighborhood, and district. Finally, this study chooses a specific district and proposes urban regeneration strategies based on the principles of sustainability.
