NCKU hosts international seminar on resilient city to explore planning law
(中央社訊息服務20140520 15:04:06)National Cheng Kung University (NCKU), southern Taiwan, recently hosted an international seminar on resilient city to look into the aspects of regulatory regime and planning law.
More than one hundred students attended the seminar at the College of Planning and Design, NCKU, May 9, with three guest speakers, Prof. Rachelle Alterman from Technion – Israel Institute of Technology, Prof. Janet Askew from University of the West of England, and Dr. Tsan-Pao, Tseng from Executive Yuan, Taiwan’s cabinet.
Alterman talked about the legal aspects of resilient city. She said, the laws often have a lot of opposition. To change the law is often more difficult than to change engineering or environmental policy.”
In her talk, she showed how around the world changing the law is a problem.
She also said, “The building or constructions must be authorized through legal powers and property land is regulated by law. Sometimes lands are public in order to be protected it but laws and the legal rights are problematic in many countries and also in Taiwan.”
“The law should be flexible, the law should be adaptable, and the law should not be resilient,” noted Alterman when paraphrasing her joke in the title, “the unwanted resilience of the laws.”
When referring to the situation in Taiwan, Alterman said, “First, you should look at the coastal areas around Taiwan and think about how to protect the coast from the sea rise and from the sinking of the land and from the slat of underground water.”
“To do that you have to convince people who live around the coast to regulate their land to build only according to environmental rules,” Alterman added.
The use of land and the building in the city is regulated by laws and the plans are made in legal powers, according to Askew.
She also said, “the resilience is the key area for the urban planning and it is a very important subject to my country.”
She talked about challenges of resilient city and UK approaches through planning control. Also, UK Discretionary Planning System was discussed in her talk.
Askew noted, “I think it’s very good that we compared different approaches so we can compare Taiwanese approach with the approach from Israel and also the approaches from England.”
