The Tainan City Government is pushing the 'Historical and Cultural Site Management Platform Autonomy Ordinance.' This initiative aims to introduce private resources through an institutionalized platform to promote the restoration of old houses and the revitalization of cultural sites, creating momentum for the next stage of development in this historic cultural capital.
Tainan Vice Mayor Yeh Tse-shan pointed out today that Tainan has promoted the 'Historic District Revitalization Autonomy Ordinance' for 14 years. This effort has successfully restored over 250 old houses and completed 17 historic districts, legalizing homestays in urban areas and bringing significant benefits to cultural asset preservation and cultural tourism development. Well-known attractions like Snail Alley and Zhengxing Street are results of this ordinance.
Yeh stated that the city government began studying the establishment of the 'Historical and Cultural Site Management Platform' four years ago. The goal is to further introduce private sector power through this management platform, helping the government save costs while attracting corporate resources to assist in the restoration, preservation, and reuse of old houses more professionally.
Yeh explained that as companies place more emphasis on ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) reports, and with the Financial Supervisory Commission mandating that listed companies prepare ESG reports starting in 2025, the management platform can become an important matching mechanism for corporate involvement in cultural asset preservation, helping companies implement their social responsibilities.
Yeh noted that Tainan already has practical experience in historic district revitalization, giving it an advantage in promoting the management platform. The central government and various counties and cities are also closely watching this model. In the future, it will operate as an administrative legal entity in collaboration with the public sector to continue Tainan's positioning as a cultural capital.
The city government stated that the 'Historical and Cultural Site Management Platform Autonomy Ordinance' will be reviewed by the Tainan City Council to perfect the system design, ensuring the steady development of Tainan as a historic cultural capital into the next century.
