Abstract
“Regional restructuring” means the transformation of settlement pattern of population activities at national level that goes against the existing spatial pattern. Traditional view of regional development considers the metropolitan concentration is the highest level of economic growth and population, activities, services... concentration. The regional process is the social processes determined by production and social structure, because of the continuing process of economy growth leads the dynamics of population concentration and uneven development. However, when the change occurs, and supports a fundamental transformation of the spatial economy, which we call “urban and regional restructuring”.
The whole world is currently undergoing such a process, and our hypothesis is that spatial transformation is the result of the rise of high technology and fundamental economy transformation. In the process of regional structure transformation in Taiwan, population flow means the sources of competition and urban activity. We observe a pattern different from the original north-south growth pattern; the claim of north-south gap in Taiwan elect political assumption is insufficient to explain the trend of regional restructure in Taiwan.
We can say that the transformation of regional structure in Taiwan may be the result of the rise of high technology and inter-urban transportation policy that supported by state policies in the global economic competition. In the process of industry restructure, the developmental state in Taiwan is losing it’s leading role, and the effect of industry policies made social inclusion and exclusion, we can found Land interests effect is more Significant than industry development in recent regional restructure process. Economy growth is no longer shared by every part of society as usual. As a result, we name “formalist developmental state” to descript the role transform of the developmental state in Taiwan.
