Being an area of intensely commercial and business pursuits with metropolitan style of consumer behavior along the street, the so-called "District of Eastern Taipei" hiding its real face of past and today is actually a geographical name carrying an obscure range. Compared with the former site of downtown already beginning to seek back the resource of historic culture and Shing-yi development District continuously pursuing the development of commerce, "District of Eastern Taipei" is not that simple to just be an area with consuming activities. On the other hand, it is necessary to recreate a connection between substance and abstract of a city, so as to endow it with a new concept of city's complexion.
This study notes that multi-possibility of city development can be further discussed by redefining city’s free-space and greenbelt, by altering the route which is long dominated by human consumption of materials, by providing a far viewpoint which citizen can ramble and hang around through public urban space left by water channel and by creating a brand new 3D experience for citizen’s leisure activities.
Finally, by connecting the flexibility of a city to change people's walking experience in "District of Eastern Taipei" and activating no-consumption space functions to produce more places, like a square, for people spending their leisure time, citizen and traveler catch the sight of new city space from daytime to nighttime, and the face of "District of Eastern Taipei" behind the business development can be rediscovered.
