SWOT Analysis

1. Superiority (S):
a. Transportation: it is one of the rare sites with a station that combines the 3 transits of Taiwan.
b.The five major constructions make Nangang unique from other districts.
c. Nangang is to become a window of Taipei to the world and should be a good city visibly.

2. Weakness (W):
a. Nangang district’s development lacks holistic urban planning, resulting in ineffective connection of landscape to usage.
b.There is a huge gap between the old and new districts in Nangang, lacking transitional and interactive spaces.
c. High-density spatial development, oppression of the environment and lack of foundational facilities decreased the living quality of the residents.

3. Opportunity (O):
a. Nangang breaks away from the dark village image and seeks to find local characteristics to create effective spatial connections.
b.The bottle cap factory is in an intermediary location. It can be a bridge to allow interflow of old/new and low/high density spaces.

4. Threats (T):
a. Future large-scale developments can create large population inflow, creating substantial influence.
b. Large amount of emerging industries with few service industries still cannot keep people here.
c. Local collective memory and cultural identity face threats of industrialization and globalization.
