Please note this session was held in Mandarin.

We kicked off the 12-hour festival with two new housing models from Taiwan. As the first social housing project begins construction in the city of Hsinchu, we heard from Liu Shih-Wei, a director of the National Housing and Urban Regeneration Center. Meanwhile, at Pure Co-Living, 9floor is an experiment in coliving located in a former military dormitory close to the centre of Taipei. Complete with communal kitchens and rooftop parties, the project is designed to create a friendlier, more livable city for its residents. Pan Shiyin-Rung, brand and development director at 9floor showed us around.
