Taiwan is facing several issues as cities develop, including traffic congestion, public safety concerns, inefficient energy use, and more. The document outlines Taiwan's efforts to implement smart city solutions to address these issues across areas like governance, transportation, energy, and the environment. It provides examples of projects underway in major cities using technologies like smart surveillance cameras, electronic toll collection on roads, intelligent parking management systems, micro-grid solar energy installations, and large solar farms. The goal is to create safer, more efficient, and sustainable urban environments through digital transformation and innovative smart city applications.
3. •Epidemic outbreak consumes
more and more medical
resources
• Urban traffic
congestion; high road
maintenance costs
• Criminal gangs, drug
trafficking, and protest
marches have put society's
safety in jeopardy
• Electricity supply is either
insufficient or unstable;
inefficient energy
consumption
• High unemployment rate
• Poor administrative efficiency and high fiscal deficit
• Gap between rich and
poor is getting wider
amid sluggish
industrial growth
• Insufficient food safety and regional sanitary
• The gap between urban and rural
education is getting wider and
the support for low-income
minority students is required
• Insufficient infrastructure
• Explosive population growth and high population densities in urban areas
have created a number of social issues such as political and social
unrest, energy scarcity, and a wider education gap between rich and poor
Issues that cities are facing today…

Background
The
government
is
promong
the
“Forward-‐looking
Infrastructure
Development
Program”
to
build
a
new
generaon

infrastructure
for
the
naon’s
future.
This
program
includes
funding
for
eight
categories.
Under
the
special
act
governing
forward-‐looking
infrastructure
projects,

on
July
7,
2017,
the
program
will
be
funded
by
a
special
budget
of
US$13.9
billion
over
four
years.
The
program
may
be
extended
thereajer,
subject
to
the
Parliament's
approval,
with
a
budget
and
period
not
to
exceed
those
of
the
first
four
years.
The
program
is
expected
to
add
US$15.6
billion
to
the
real
GDP
and
contribung
an
average
0.1
percentage
point
to
