From parasitism to Mutualism — People, Earth, New Taipei City: Coexistence and regeneration on urbanism, landscape urbanism, and the future of settlements

Humans have occupied most of the land surface of the planet since ancient times. There is no doubt that New Taipei City will continue to expand, but in the coming decades, the increasing pressure of urban pollution and global warming, our living space will make it necessary to redefine the model for expansion. This study is seeking a new vision of urbanization and urban Mutualism for New Taipei City in the future. It will adopt a “nature first” development model to replace the “human first” growth model, and new urban developments will take place under the returning natural land surface of this sustainable symbiotic mutualism system.
