Green Taoyuan, Luzhu
Urban Design Project

2018
Masterplan
 This project involved urban detail planning in Luzhu, Taoyuan, a satellite city near Taipei. The site was set to benefit from a new MRT system connecting it to Taipei, with one MRT station and a water pond included in the development area. As a student, I collaborated with my professor on this real-world urban planning project and was entrusted with significant responsibilities. I focused on integrating blue and green resources into the master plan, ensuring a sustainable and cohesive urban environment.

Drawing on concepts like low-impact development (LID) and transit-oriented development (TOD), I designed a green network system that linked the area's natural water features—ponds and irrigation ditches, which are characteristic of Taoyuan’s clay-rich soil. I incorporated various tree species into the water system to enhance retention capabilities and proposed the use of pervious materials for pavements to improve water infiltration. This green network was a critical achievement, forming the foundation for the project’s design code and ensuring that sustainability was embedded into the urban fabric.

In addition to managing the blue-green integration, I contributed to the design of the road system and land-use arrangements. By shaping traffic flows and integrating natural and urban elements, the project became a model for sustainable urban development in Taoyuan. This experience provided me with valuable insights into land-use planning, urban block design, and building density, reinforcing my understanding of how to balance ecological concerns with urban growth.
