一座城市，如何重新學會讓人走路？
01｜走路，是每個人的日常
我們每天都在走路。
走到公車站、陪孩子上學、推著嬰兒車上市場，或走去附近的公園。
步行是最基本的移動方式，也是人們與城市發生關係的第一步。然而在有限的道路空間裡，行人的需要卻往往最容易被壓縮。
因此，談人本交通，不只是在討論人行道要多寬、路口要怎麼畫。
更重要的問題是：
有限的城市空間，要如何分配？
我們選擇優先保障誰的移動？
02｜街道，不只是讓車通過
今天的街道設計，已不再只以車輛通行效率為唯一尺度。
國際街道設計倡議逐漸將行人、自行車、公共運輸與汽車放進同一套城市思考中，同時關注安全、可及性、公共健康、環境品質與生活品質。
因為街道不只是交通的通道。
它也是我們每天共同使用的公共空間。
一條好的街道，應該讓不同年齡、不同身體條件、使用不同交通方式的人，都能安全而有尊嚴地移動。
03｜改變，從一條街開始
這場展覽從品妡參與的臺北幾條街道改造案出發。
從師大路、浦城街到安居街，我們看到的不是幾項彼此獨立的工程，而是一座城市如何一次次重新協商道路空間。
師大路改善過去人行道狹窄、公共設施占用通行空間與無障礙不足等問題，透過路口調整、設施整併、導盲設施與減速平台，讓被切斷的步行動線逐步連續。
浦城街部分路段則增設實體分隔人行道。
每一次改變，都從同一個問題開始：
行人是否能安全、連續地走完這段路？
04｜道路空間從來不是憑空增加
安居街讓我們看見人本交通最現實的一面。
道路改善並不是憑空創造更多空間，而是在有限的空間裡重新做出選擇。
過去部分路段缺乏完整的人行空間，行人必須走進車道，與車輛交織。
要改變這件事，就必須同時面對步行、停車、裝卸貨、上下客，以及長久形成的生活習慣。
這不是一道只靠工程技術就能回答的問題。
它同時是一個關於城市優先順序的選擇。
05｜把位置留給行人
安居街重新配置道路後，兩側建立約 1.5 公尺寬的人行道，新增約 2,000 平方公尺的人行空間。
道路空間因此發生了改變。
但改變並不代表其他交通方式必須消失。市府實測資料顯示，在路寬適度縮減後，整體行車時間仍維持穩定。
人本交通並不等於排除汽車。
它真正要做的，是重新思考每一種道路使用者應有的位置，並優先降低最脆弱使用者所承受的風險。
06｜改變仍在進行
大安路一段串聯捷運站、商圈、醫院與公共空間，是許多人日常移動的重要路線。
部分既有人行道過去最窄僅約 0.9 至 1.2 公尺，又受到路燈、消防栓、號誌與違停影響。
正在進行的改善工程，將透過人行道拓寬、道路空間調整與設施整併，進一步串聯東區的步行環境。
一段一段改善，看似細小。
但當安全而連續的步行空間彼此接上，改變的就不只是一條路，而是人們使用整座城市的方式。
07｜交通建設，可以帶來更多嗎？
當我們把視線從一條人行道再往前推，問題也開始改變：
交通建設能不能成為城市空間再生的起點？
華聲里延吉廢鐵道停車場地下化與地面綠廊帶的構想，提出了另一種可能。
當停車需求與公共空間不必永遠二選一，我們就有機會重新整理有限的城市土地。
讓部分原本被交通設施占據的地面空間，重新成為可以走路、停留、休息，也讓綠意進入日常生活的地方。
08｜安全，決定一個人能不能出發
安全的交通環境，影響的不只是事故數字。
它也決定一個人敢不敢走出家門。
世界衛生組織指出，道路安全是促進步行、自行車與公共運輸的重要基礎，並與公共健康、永續發展及社會公平密切相關。
因此，一座適合步行的城市，不只是讓人「有地方可以走」。
而是讓孩子、長者、輪椅使用者、推著嬰兒車的人，以及所有不同身體條件的人，都能安心抵達生活中的每一個地方。
09｜交通設計，最後關乎的是生活
交通工程看似由尺度、標線、鋪面與號誌組成。
但它最後改變的，都是非常具體的日常：
孩子能不能安全上學。
長者能不能自在出門。
輪椅與嬰兒車能不能順利通過。
一間店、一座公園、一座捷運站，能不能被舒服地抵達。
好的道路設計，最終不是讓交通系統運作得更漂亮，而是讓人的生活變得更安全、更自由。
10｜為每一步，留下位置
這場展覽記錄幾條街道已經發生、正在發生，以及下一步可能發生的改變。
從師大路、浦城街、安居街，到正在改變的大安路一段，以及下一步的延吉廢鐵道，每個地方有不同的街道條件與生活需求，卻都從同一件事開始：重新思考街道如何回應人的需要。
當我們重新安排一條街，也是在重新決定，我們希望人如何生活在這座城市裡。
How Does a City Learn to Walk Again?
01 | Walking Is Part of Everyday Life
We walk every day.
To the bus stop, to school with our children, to the market with a stroller, or to a nearby park.
Walking is the most basic way of getting around. It is also one of the first ways we experience a city. Yet when street space is limited, the needs of pedestrians are often the first to be squeezed out.
That is why people-centred transportation is about more than the width of a sidewalk or the design of an intersection.
The more important questions are:
How should limited urban space be shared?
Whose mobility do we choose to protect first?
02 | Streets Are More Than Roads for Cars
Today, street design is no longer measured by vehicle efficiency alone.
International approaches to street design increasingly consider pedestrians, cyclists, public transport and cars within the same urban framework, while also addressing safety, accessibility, public health, environmental quality and quality of life.
A street is more than a route for traffic.
It is also a public space we share every day.
A good street should allow people of different ages, physical abilities and modes of transport to move safely and with dignity.
03 | Change Begins with a Street
This exhibition begins with several street improvement projects in Taipei that Jessica (Pin-Hsin) has been involved in.
From Shida Road and Pucheng Street to Anju Street, these are not simply separate infrastructure projects. Together, they show how a city can repeatedly rethink and renegotiate the use of its street space.
On Shida Road, improvements have addressed narrow sidewalks, public facilities obstructing pedestrian space, and inadequate accessibility. Adjustments to intersections, consolidated street facilities, tactile paving and raised crossings have helped reconnect previously fragmented walking routes.
On parts of Pucheng Street, physically separated sidewalks have also been introduced.
Each change begins with the same question:
Can pedestrians walk the entire route safely and without interruption?
04 | Street Space Does Not Simply Appear
Anju Street shows us one of the most practical realities of people-centred transportation.
Street improvements do not create more space out of nowhere. They require choices about how limited space should be used.
Some sections of Anju Street previously lacked adequate pedestrian space, forcing people to walk in the roadway alongside moving vehicles.
Changing this means addressing many needs at once: walking, parking, loading and unloading, passenger pick-up and drop-off, as well as long-established patterns of daily life.
This is not a question that engineering alone can answer.
It is also a choice about what a city chooses to prioritise.
05 | Making Space for Pedestrians
After Anju Street was redesigned, sidewalks approximately 1.5 metres wide were created on both sides of the street, adding around 2,000 square metres of pedestrian space.
The balance of street space changed as a result.
But making more room for pedestrians does not mean that other forms of transport have to disappear. Data collected by the Taipei City Government showed that overall driving times remained stable even after the roadway was moderately narrowed.
People-centred transportation is not about excluding cars.
It is about reconsidering the place of every street user, while giving priority to reducing the risks faced by those who are most vulnerable.
06 | Change Is Still Underway
Section 1 of Da'an Road connects MRT stations, commercial areas, hospitals and public spaces, making it an important part of many people's daily journeys.
Some existing sidewalks were previously only around 0.9 to 1.2 metres wide at their narrowest points. Their usable space was further reduced by streetlights, fire hydrants, traffic signals and illegally parked vehicles.
The improvement project now underway will widen sidewalks, adjust the allocation of road space and consolidate street facilities, helping create a more connected walking environment across Taipei's East District.
Each individual improvement may seem small.
But when safe, continuous walking routes begin to connect, what changes is not simply one street. It changes how people move through and experience the city as a whole.
07 | Can Transport Infrastructure Do More?
When we look beyond a single sidewalk, the question becomes broader:
Can transport infrastructure become a starting point for regenerating urban space?
The proposal to move parking underground at the former Yanji railway site in Huasheng Village and create a green corridor at street level offers another possibility.
Parking and public space do not always have to be an either-or choice. When both needs can be addressed together, limited urban land can be reconsidered and used differently.
Space once occupied by transport infrastructure can become a place where people can walk, stop and rest, while bringing more greenery into everyday life.
08 | Safety Determines Whether We Can Set Out
A safe transport environment affects more than accident statistics.
It also affects whether people feel able to leave their homes and move through the city.
The World Health Organization identifies road safety as an important foundation for promoting walking, cycling and public transport, with close links to public health, sustainable development and social equity.
A walkable city, then, is not simply one where there is somewhere to walk.
It is one where children, older people, wheelchair users, people pushing strollers, and people of different physical abilities can reach the places that are part of their everyday lives safely and with confidence.
09 | Transport Design Is Ultimately About Everyday Life
Transport engineering may appear to be about dimensions, road markings, paving and traffic signals.
But what it ultimately changes is very concrete:
Whether a child can get to school safely.
Whether an older person can leave home with confidence.
Whether a wheelchair or stroller can pass without difficulty.
Whether a shop, a park or an MRT station can be reached comfortably.
Good street design is not ultimately about making a transport system look more efficient. It is about making everyday life safer and giving people greater freedom to move.
10 | Making Room for Every Step
This exhibition documents changes that have already taken place, those now underway, and those that could come next.
From Shida Road, Pucheng Street and Anju Street to the ongoing transformation of Section 1 of Da'an Road and the next possibility at the former Yanji railway site, each place has its own street conditions and everyday needs. Yet they all begin with the same idea: reconsidering how streets can better respond to the people who use them.
When we redesign a street, we are also making a choice about how we want people to live in this city.

Moving from the arts and cultural sector into public affairs, Jessica Liu has maintained a sustained interest in the relationship between people and the cities they inhabit.
She holds a BA in Political Science from Soochow University and an MA in Arts & Cultural Management from King’s College London. Before entering public service, she worked in the gallery sector and at ART TAIPEI. Her subsequent work in both national and local politics has encompassed policy research, constituency services, and urban issues.
Now running for Taipei City Council, Liu seeks to bring these experiences into the next phase of her work for the city. Across mobility, public space, culture, and everyday life, she considers how Taipei can better respond to the needs of different generations, and how meaningful change can take place not only through major infrastructure projects, but also on the streets, in neighbourhoods, and in the places people encounter every day.
For Liu, the progress of a city should not simply be visible; it should make a tangible difference to the everyday lives of the people who call it home.
