Xinyi Planning District ({{lang-zh|信義計畫區}}), also known as the Xinyi Planning Area, is located in Xinyi District, Taipei, Taiwan. The total area of the Xinyi Planning District is 153 hectares. It was designed in the 1970s and developed from the 1980s onward. Xinyi Planning District is the prime central business district of Taipei. Important infrastructure, such as Taipei 101, Taipei City Hall, Taipei International Convention Center and Taipei World Trade Center, is located within this area.
Historical development
It's historical development began in 1976, when the Taipei Municipal Government accepted the proposal to redevelop the area east of the Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall. The goal of this redevelopment was to set up a secondary commercial center away from the more crowded old city center (Taipei Station, Ximending area). The redevelopment hoped to increase the prosperity of the eastern district and the convenience of urban life for existing residents.{{Cite web|title=What plans and measures are implemented to develop the modern Taipei sub-center, the Xinyi Planning District?|url=https://english.gov.taipei/News_Content.aspx?n=9466C65F1E35239A&s=6691E067D07FEFFC|access-date=2022-06-18|website=english.gov.taipei| date=18 April 2017 }}
The development framework was planned by the Japanese architect {{ill|Kaku Morin|ja|郭茂林}} (1920–2012) of Kaku Morin Group, an architect with planning experience with the Nishi-Shinjuku district, a previously planned development in Tokyo. The center's purpose was to expand business investment in the area and attract international financial services and technology firms. It also planned for residential development by building a completely new community. The Xinyi Planning District is the only commercial development area in Taipei with a wholly planned street and urban design. In addition to attracting corporations, it also features large retail spaces, department stores, and shopping malls.{{Cite web|title=Xinyi Commercial District|url=https://english.gov.taipei/News_Content.aspx?n=460F7826293CF0BA&sms=07D68BC61ECBFF67&s=9E3B5129CBEC81B2|access-date=2022-06-18|website=english.gov.taipei}}
