Description :
This paper explores the dynamics behind the changing regimes of urban renewal and its social impacts in Taipei, Taiwan. It then brings two issues to the fore. The first one is the learning process concerning the policy of public-private partnership initiatives. It demonstrates that policy transferred from abroad is “localized” in the learning process and used to prioritize the regeneration of public lands in the urban area. The second one is the social exclusion as a result of property-led regeneration. By doing so, the state privileges landowners and developers and sacrifices the rights of tenants to stay put.
