Taoyuan Aerotropolis

Taoyuan Aerotropolis

Taoyuan Aerotropolis is a planned large urban planning development at the Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport in Taoyuan City, Taiwan. It would be funded by the Taiwan city government. The development requires a total of 3,200 hectares land acquisition and over 40,000 people have to be relocated. Once the Aerotropolis has been completed, the Taoyuan International Airport will be expanded to 1,800 hectares from the current 1,200 hectares, and the third runway will also be built.

“Taoyuan is already a well-positioned hub for international trade and manufacturing, with the existing Taoyuan International Airport and Taipei Port connected locally via a comprehensive network of highways, railways and Mass Rapid Transit. The project is a cornerstone in the government’s ‘i-Taiwan 12 Projects’ blueprint for economic development” (KPMG).
