Research on Institutional Supply of Urban Renewal in Contemporary Taiwan from the Perspective of Trust Generation
Abstract：
Currently, urban renewal in mainland China is hardly promoted, faced with problems such as high cost of coordination, excessive fiscal and administrative burdens. In this paper, we believe that “trust” in the macro sense is the premise and foundation of cooperation among multiple subjects in urban renewal, and the institutional supply is the foundation, carrier, and object of trust; therefore, this paper constructs an institutional analysis framework of “rules—roles—routines”. Taking the case of urban renewal in Chinese Taiwan, especially Taipei City as an example, this paper analyzes the experiences and reflections of trust generating in urban renewal from three aspects of fair and just rules, reliable and trustworthy roles, and transparent and standardized routines, then to put forward three strands of policy implications for the generation of institutional trust for urban renewal in mainland China: (1) shifting the role of government and establishing laws and regulations suitable for urban renewal in contemporary China; (2) cultivating social intermediary organizations and establishing a multilateral cooperative governance structure; (3) implementing clear and formal routines to create the environment for mutual trust.
