Architecture will improve and tall, shiny skyscrapers will be built.

The icing on the Taipei urbanism cake would be converting Songshan Airport into a large urban park. There's no logical place to build a new secondary airport, but Songshan handles far fewer passengers than the likes of Dallas Love and Oakland.

Taoyuan is within reasonable proximity (36-minute train ride) to Taipei Main Station, and they're currently building a ginormous 6.24-million-square-foot terminal designed by Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners capable of handling up to 45 million passengers annually.
