THEME 2015 “Redevelopment of Keelung Station Area in Taiwan”
2) Green solutions

Introduction•••Redevelopment of Keelung station area goal is a sustainable
and competitive port city with criteria: easy mobility, trade andtourism, especially green city. Therefore our proposal focuses
on strategic transit development and green solutions.
TOD (transit-oriented development) is planning concept that
promotes the creation of a network of well-design, higher
urban communities focused around transit station. This
planning measurement is expected to create Keelung transit
corridor as the number 1 transport selection meeting thefuture needs of public for highest-quality transit service: safety,efficency, reliable, courteous.
Green solutions should be proposed and implemented foradvanced friendly- environmental city.

Redevelopment solutions→ Transport development plan

 Keelung is an area with a high traffic volume, complex transport
nodes, and a lot of transport modes, solution for this issues:

New Energy

Central Station

LRT Parking1) The most vital measurement in redevelopment of Keelung station areao The central station is expected to promote economic growth, tourism attraction and big transport demand in
the future. Futhermore, it encourages local people and visitors using public transit as (tod) for sustainable
development.
o It has arch structure and shape of of Lagerstoemia speciosa representativity for culture of port city Keelung,unique symbol and architecture , Which contributes to cultural meanings and tourist attractions.

the future green city.

Water network around central station flowing
to sea contributes harmonious landscape.
Eco-pathpedestrian and bicycle lanes
along the seasid The monorail route connects two sidesof port along the seaside.
 Advanced public transport with light
structure and eay fabrication,efficent,quiet,safe and green.

 Passenger service lobby forbuying tickets, exit and entrance.

 The route connect keelung toTaipei and other regions .
 Metro-railway minimize the traffic

Tunnel Balance all modes of transport by constructing
walkable street and bicycle lane along the seaside :pedestrian and bicycle access is balanced withvehicular travel around central station.

 Highway planning and engineering : ring road, asmall tunnel , intersection improvement.

Street tree cover : make fully-green trees for freshand clean city.

 Central Station as a high frequency and connectivity transit
center has strong multi-mode public transport network(metrorail, metro over ,electricity bus) by conducting
redevelopment actions: Construct the monorail and electricity bus.

Eco House• Establish a Keelung transit corridor with a newcentral station as a gateway or main transfer point
for resident commuters and visitors to go out or in
Keelung station area among transport modes
available.

 Remove and establish underground old Keelung
station to new central station.

 Eco-city by friendly-environmental technologies and efforts.
 To complete the target of desirable Green City in next ten years 2025 ,theenvironment friendly actions should be implemented:

Smart Parking
 Optimize parking space usage,
improve the efficiency of yourparking operations and help
traffic in your city flow more
