Summary:Since the end of World War II Taipei has undergone dramatic changes affecting its cultural, demographic, physical, political and socio-economic structure. Roger Mark Selya describes these changes, from 1949 to the present day, using both official government statistics and unpublished reports, Taiwanese and Western research, and his field notes taken over a twenty-year period. Taipei highlights two major problems which face government planners and politicians if they are to ensure the city retains its regional and world importance, namely land constraints and respect for the rule of law. As the only scholarly book available in English on this dynamic and fascinating city, it will be invaluable to Asianists, urban geographers, planners, urban economists and sociologists.
