SPECIAL REPORT: LAND DEVELOPMENT SPECIAL REPORT: LAND USE
In laying out the seven outside the fence areas, Taoyuan County
planners focused on ensuring the highest and best land use leveraging through proximity to the airport as well as connectivity to the gateway and the broader region. To the immediate south of the airport are two aviation-related
industrial zones. A 670-hectare aviation industry area will be geared to aerospace equipment design and manufacturing, aviation equipment repair and air logistics services – plus a possible aviation-training centre. The 1,345-hectare Airport-Related Industry Zone (which also has a
portion northwest of TPE that is designated for aviation research and development), has in-flight service industries, air sports and the leisure industry, not to mention car rental and parking, among other traditional services related to the airport. The 490-hectare Trade and Exhibition Area already hosts an
international convention centre with future hotels, shopping, entertainment and office buildings planned. A high-speed rail station and a Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) station further leverage the zone, the latter will connect to the airport. A Refined Agriculture Development Area consisting of
460 hectares on the airport’s southwest periphery is planned as an agricultural produce distribution centre. Auction centres, as well as an agri-business technology R&D centre, are similarly proposed for the area. North of TPE, a 360-hectare Coastal Recreation Zone is planned hosting marinas, water sports facilities, fish markets, plus indoor and
outdoor water parks. Incentives will be provided to encourage investment in these, as well as associated hotels with conference facilities, vacation homes, restaurants and shopping precincts. To the east, a 155-hectare FTZ will be established to leverage the
Farglory FTZ and the extended airport Free Trade Zone. Included in this zone will be automated warehouse and distribution centres, trade centres and time critical light manufacturing. To provide good residential facilities and minimise commute
times, a number of quality living areas totalling nearly 700 hectares are planned for various sections of the aerotropolis. These will be designed as sustainable living communities based
on the ethos of balancing life, neighbourhood, work and ecology. Aerotropolis quality living areas will also have mixed-use services, such as shopping malls, restaurants, libraries and schools. At present, the outside the fence aerotropolis zones are primarily
conceptual and will be developed as economic demand and market opportunities arise. For example, in the Airport-Related Industrial Zone, planned
to the northwest of the airport, it is possible that some portions outside the airport’s noise contours could support a significant ‘health port’, made up of clinics to serve medical tourism and wellness centres. Given Taiwan’s leading position in micro-electronics and
information and communications technology (ICT) exports, air cargo and logistics are major components of TPE and will be even more so in the future.
