 台灣的區域均衡與民主發展（一）

 Calling for regional balance and democratic development in Taiwan - Part 1

 §  追求區域均衡的聲音

 §  A call for regional balance in development

        被視為亞洲民主典範的台灣，現在正默默掀起一場追求「區域均衡」的聲音，


    Regarded as a model of democracy in Asia, Taiwan is in the pursuit of
    ‘regional balance’. Regional balance differs from the racial, gender,
    and social class equality that is sought after in the fight for equality
    of human rights in the West. In today’s Taiwan, unbalanced development
    is manifested in the subtle comparison amongst various regions, which
    can also be observed in many other Asian countries.



    On a closer look at the administrative map of Taiwan, the regional
    topographies generally fall into the following two types:
    the flat terrain in the central and southern Taiwan, and the mountainous
    terrain in the north, east, and off-shore islands.【 1 】
    In 2006, approximately 69.4% (1.58 million) of the total population
    reside in the metropolitan area that only accounts for 16.9 % of the
    entire land area of Taiwan. As compared to the statistics in the
    “Progress of Urbanisation Report” by the Directorate of Taiwan in 2006
    【 2 】, the figure has now come to 78 %. Figure A shows Taiwan’s
    population changes over the past 20 years between 1998 and 2017.

        北部面積相較其他區域小，多為盆地與台地，卻有 45.4 % 的人口集中在北部
    縣市，台灣政治經濟中心台北市面積僅有台灣的 0.75 %，人口卻高達總數的 11.45 %
    ，且至今這個北部都會區的人口仍不斷膨脹。

    Northern Taiwan has relatively lesser land area as compared to other
    regions, with mostly basin or flat terrain, and yet 45.4% of the total
    population is concentrated in the northern counties and cities.
    In particular, as Taiwan’s political and economic centre,
    Taipei City only accounts for 0.75% of the total land area,
    and yet is occupied by 11.45% of the total population. Furthermore,
    the population of the northern metropolitan area is still on the rise.

        值得一提的是，台灣總人口 2 千 3 百萬，面積在世界名列 137 名
    （36,191 km2），人口密度高達 650/km^2。1967 年到 1981 年間，台灣都市公共投
    資中有 90 % 以上集中在北、中、南、高四個都會區，其中台北市就佔了 60 %。
    【 4 】因此，台灣社會追求區域均衡的聲音不曾停歇。

    It is worth mentioning that Taiwan’s total population currently stands
    at some 23 million, with a total area of 36,191 km2 (137th in the world),
    and has a population density of 650/km2. Between 1967 and 1981, more than
    90% of the urban public investment was concentrated in Taipei (North),
    Taichung (Central), Tainan (South), and Kaohsiung, the four metropolitans
    of Taiwan, remarkably 60% of which was solely in Taipei.【 4 】
    Since then, the call for regional balance has never ceased.
