Browsing: Kaohsiung redevelopment

The Hequn (合群) and Jianye (建業) villages are areas long recognized as the largest surviving cluster of naval dependents’ housing in Taiwan. Much of the district dates back to the late 1940s and 1950s, when thousands of military families settled in Zuoying following the KMT’s relocation to Taiwan.

Kaohsiung Main Station is continuing its transition into a full transportation hub, linking rail, MRT, intercity buses, and city buses in one location.

The redevelopment of Kaohsiung’s waterfront moves away from port-heavy industrial land use to a mixed waterfront district integrating corporate R&D, finance, culture, and public space; a 20-year transition, implemented in defined steps.
