In the process of urban development, different viewpoints determine the order and location of things entering the city, and different things that come first and second grow at different rates and expand in a limited space.Taiwan transplanted the traditional urban planning system from the Japanese rule and the West, but it has not been thoroughly implemented. These different boundaries have been blurred due to industries, population structure, and supply demand, resulting in the blurring of boundaries between planning areas, thus creating a different spatial characteristic by pushing the boundaries according to their own operation rules.As a matter of fact, the city is constructed by human beings and composed of various functions, so urban diversity should be a natural form. For urban space, "mixed use" should be a complex and highly developed order, not a form of chaos, but a lot of fragments and folds of life intertwined in these spaces, and the overlap between the old and the new creates spatial chaos and incongruity.-The new and the old overlap to create a disorderly and incongruous space.The natural topography of Dadui Mountain forms a defile, which is an important access point to Taichung City and the port. This topography also demonstrates the importance of its strategic position, taking over Japanese positions and battle fortifications after the war, making it a "border zone" and "military" development at the same time.
New industries and residences are coming in with the expansion of the city, bringing a lot of changes to the landscape, and the original urban positioning of Dadu Mountain is gradually changing and must be viewed from the perspective of a normal urban development. Therefore, I am concerned about the coexistence of old and new industries in the face of the changing urban orientation, and the intervention or conflict between these things on the environment and the settlement in the process of the gradual reduction of military power.
