Taipei 30 years ago vs now is night Vs day. It use to be 100% run down concrete. Now its about 50%. In another 20 years, it will be 25%.
I am in my mid 30s now, but I remember a time when DAAN was just developing, and was pretty much the only nice looking place in Taiwan. Now we have Banqiao, Neihu, Sonshan, Xinyi. Nangang, and Zhongshan all really clean and nice.
Seeing as how development is now shifting to western Taipei, I have no doubt the rest of the city will be taken care of. Development follows the MRT
