Wenzizun (), formally known as the New Taipei City Xin-Tai Wenzizun Redevelopment Zone (), is an urban rezoning area located in Xinzhuang District and Taishan District, on the west side of New Taipei City, Taiwan.
Background
The Wenzizun redevelopment zone is located at the junction of Xinzhuang and Taishan Districts in New Taipei City. It was originally a flood plain first-level control zone controlled to cooperate with the
Tamsui River flood control.
The relevant local development plans have been delayed for many years.
After the land was deregulated, the land provided after the completion of the regional flood control plan was converted into urban development land.
After the land was rezoned, it was submitted to the Ministry of the Interior for approval to implement the redevelopment zone and handle its overall development.

Public transportation: Taoyuan Airport MRT Station A5a
Future Prospects
Infrastructure development is a major focus of the Wenzizun project, with a strong emphasis on enhancing transportation connectivity. The expansion of the Taoyuan Airport MRT, particularly the development of MRT Station A5a, will improve public transportation access, linking the area directly to Taipei Main Station and Taoyuan International Airport. Additionally, the integration of Provincial Highway 65 with newly constructed roads will facilitate smoother traffic flow and greater accessibility to other districts in New Taipei City and Taipei City. The redevelopment zone is also planned to be pedestrian and bicycle-friendly, incorporating walkable streets, dedicated bike lanes, and public green spaces to create a modern and sustainable urban environment.
A significant aspect of the Wenzizun Redevelopment Zone is its potential to become a leading center for technology and innovation. The project aims to integrate smart city technologies, including 5G infrastructure, smart traffic management, and energy-efficient buildings.
Challenges
Despite its promising future, the redevelopment of Wenzizun faces several challenges that must be carefully managed. The timely completion of infrastructure, including roads, flood control measures, and public utilities, is crucial to the project’s overall success. Additionally, the demand for commercial and residential properties in the area will depend on broader economic conditions, business investment trends, and housing market fluctuations. Real estate speculation could also pose a challenge, potentially affecting housing affordability and long-term urban planning objectives.
Furthermore, the environmental impact of large-scale urban development, particularly concerning flood management and ecosystem preservation, requires careful planning and continuous monitoring to ensure a balance between development and sustainability.
