Taipei mayoral candidates share vastly different visions for Taipei
Taipei mayoral candidates share vastly different visions for Taipei
2026-10-21
What will Taipei look like 20 years from now? Taipei Mayor Chiang Wan-an hopes the city will have vast green park where Songshan Airport stands today. Meanwhile, Taipei Mayoral Candidate Puma Shen of the DPP he hopes the capital will be a city where young people can afford to live and build their futures. The vastly different opinions have incited plenty of debate online and offline.
Chiang Wan-an
Taipei Mayor
I hope that 20 years from now, Taipei can be like this. Just imagine going to Songshan Airport, and finding it’s a huge green space with dense canopies.
Taipei Mayor Chiang Wan-an spoke about his vision for Taipei on a TV program. He hopes that 20 years in the future, lush foliage will cover the area where Songshan Airport is today.

Taipei Mayor
You’ll see self-driving vehicles on the road, all of them using key chips made in Taiwan. The city is full of vitality and innovation.
Puma Shen
Taipei Mayoral Candidate (DPP)
My daughter is 6 years old now. In 20 years, she’ll be 26, freshly graduated from university, or rather, from her master’s program. We hope that this future Taipei will have jobs that aren’t a struggle to land. By then I hope we’ll have a city fund that provides each child NT$500,000 when they grow into adults. I hope that my daughter can live in Taipei, at affordable housing, or at a rental not for sale.
When the DPP’s mayoral candidate for Taipei, Puma Shen, was asked a similar question, his answer considered the needs of different age groups, such as employment, childrearing and retirement. Netizens quickly slammed Chiang’s response in the comments: “Didn’t he want to build an AI park?” “You cut down trees left and right yet you want greenery?” “Chiang when he reads from a script vs. Chiang when he speaks his mind” “Is Chiang competing in an elementary school speech contest?”

Taipei City Councilor (DPP)
Would shutting down Songshan meet the needs of any age group? Chiang is a master of answering questions without actually answering them. Both candidates have weighed in on this important issue, and I believe the citizens of Taipei are smart enough to make the right choice.
Both candidates have different ideas about what the capital should look like in the future. With Election Day drawing closer, it remains to be seen who will sway voters.

想像台北未來20年！ 蔣萬安喊「松機遷移變公園」遭酸
2026-10-21
沈伯洋和蔣萬安近來接連接受媒體訪問，兩人都被問到希望台北市20年後是什麼樣子？沈伯洋從各個年齡層切入，展現胸有成足；而他的對手蔣萬安則從松機遷移、公園遮蔭、再扯到無人車。兩相對照讓網友忍不住大酸，蔣萬安是小學生在參加演講比賽嗎?

“我希望20年後的台北，大家可以想像一個場景，就是當我們走到松山機場這個場域，他經過一個大片面積的公園綠地，有很大片的遮蔭。”
台北市長蔣萬安上節目暢談，對20年後台北市的想像，從松山機場遷建，變成一片樹海綠蔭。

“看到無人車在路上行駛，裡面使用關鍵晶片，是Made in Taiwan，其實看到的是整個充滿活力，充滿創新。”

“我女兒現在是6歲，20年後她就是26歲，她可能是大學剛畢業，或研究所剛畢業，那個時候我們希望的台北，就是大家找工作是容易的，而且那時我們有做城市基金，我希望他們至少都有50萬可以領。不管是可負擔的(住宅)，或是只租不賣的，她很容易可以生活在台北市。”
前一天，被問到同樣的題目，綠營台北市長參選人沈伯洋，從青年就業、中年育兒，談到老年退休生活，各個年齡層可能會面臨的問題，通通納入考量。網友留言表示，蔣萬安是不是忘記松機要蓋的是AI園區不是公園、說要充滿樹蔭現在卻狂砍樹?以稿為本對上以人為本、蔣萬安是小學生參加演講比賽嗎?酸度破表。

“松機遷移就可以滿足所有每一個年齡層嗎，實問虛答蔣萬安莫此為勝。一個重要的命題，兩個市長候選人的回答，我覺得台北市民都很聰明，會做出正確的選擇。”
台北市長選情持續升溫，藍綠參選人對於台北市未來的想像藍圖，誰有遠見、誰準備好了，選民們自有答案。
