Is It Really Awful to Have Advanced Research Park Coming in?

        According to the final report from National Science Council, in order to integrate political resources, the government started to plan the integration of Chung Hsing Village and announced that Chung Hsing New Village as a Advanced Research Park.

Since 2000, Ministry of the Interior referring to the rule of “preservation,” the existing facilities and landscape of humanities should be put into prior consideration of preservation. 

        Cited from the plan of Chung Hsing New Village developing into the Advanced Research Park(2008), the park would plan to be a complex researching park, and would offer enough advantages to encourage and attract industrial and researching activities.

1.          First, through the advanced network and physical facilities, Advanced Research Park would strengthen basic abilities for sustainable technological development. 

2.          Second, the way of management of the park is to practice condense knowledge activities such as creating the cooperative opportunities amongst universities, researching institutions and enterprises, which could be the home to excellent elites.

3.          Advanced Research Park are expected to provide the nodes of corporations between top-level academic researches and innovative development, global technology exchanges, and venues for intellectuals and intelligence exchanges.

4.          It would also sufficiently equipped with vital infrastructures and mutual equipment, stimulating high value-added research development among entire industries.

5.          Advanced Research Park will surely become the home base for high quality living and research environment, as well as a residence abundant with global aspects and log-term goals.

Chung Hsing New Village plays an important role in the history of Taiwan’s development. “Plan of Chung Hsing New Village developing into a Advanced Research Park park” was drafted in order to adjust itself to the changing of environment and the transformation of the whole space. Therefore, before putting resources into it, the government was supposed to recheck the position of redevelopment to insure each investment could produce utmost efficiency.

2.          Catering to the development needs from the park, basically Central Science Park will preserve original urban texture and the big facilities in the area. Furthermore, it will reinforce inadequate spatial mechanism in the concept of international village.

3.          The government will preserve one special historical unit as Taiwanese humanities history researching park.

4.          Advanced Research Park would also construct a new mechanism of management, following the international trends emphasizing specifically on research development, without importing industrial production and assembling activities, to ensure the residences a high-quality living environment.

      The Advance Research Park will continually release usable lands and spaces base on the principle of “Construct First, Move then”, that is, the release of lands must be along with the magnitude and stages of overall demands, to rectify the move-out and move-in speeds of original bureaus and newly established institutions, in order to guarantee steady and sustainable development.
