碩士 / 國立東華大學 / 臺灣文化學系 / 106 / Today, Keelung Harbor is known as a docking port for international cruise ships. This is a particularly important turning point in its urban redevelopment project. The arrangement and design of the streets surrounding the port area are the structural remnants of the Japanese Occupation. With the change of reign after the Second World War and a demand for urban planning, Keelung gradually moved away from the European classical style to a more modern urban outlook. Keelung’s local economy developed rapidly due to the port construction project, so population is once again included in urban planning. With developments on the hillside and the influx of people into the Keelung Harbor, the expansion of the city no longer ensures quality of life. This took Keelung back to the chaotic state as the rule of Ching Dynasty.
Keelung Port used to be a place where pirates gathered and smuggled trade. In the 16th century, it became a popular port and relay station for the Spaniards. And it was for this purpose a market street was built to allow traders to conduct their businesses. During the Dutch Occupation, this form of trading persisted until the rule of Ming and Ching Dynasties; people's demands shifted to more in-depth developments of the land. Keelung’s prosperity thus gradually quietened down. After Japan took over Taiwan in 1895, its government began construction of the Keelung Port and started fixing the streets which gave Keelung a new look. Due to a shift in international trade, Keelung once again became one of the world’s most important ports. But as time went by and the lack of planning, port throughput gradually declined in the 20th century and population dispersed leaving a messy, dirty, dark and damp urban landscape.
A city's appearance can vary considerably in different eras. The prosperity and decline of Keelung are closely related to the development of the port. This essay observes and explores the changes in the landscape of the city streets from the development of the port area, and how it evolved into today's transformation.
