  • Rethinking Decentralized Managerialism in the Taipei Shilin Night Market Management Research and Practice Vol
    Chiu C. mrp.ase.ro RETHINKING DECENTRALIZED MANAGERIALISM IN THE TAIPEI SHILIN NIGHT MARKET MANAGEMENT RESEARCH AND PRACTICE VOL. 6 ISSUE 3 (2014) PP: 66-87 ISSN 2067- 2462 RETHINKING DECENTRALIZED MANAGERIALISM IN THE TAIPEI SHILIN NIGHT MARKET Chihsin CHIU Department of Landscape Architecture, Fu Jen Catholic University, Taiwan [email protected] 2014 Abstract This paper develops the concept of "decentralized managerialism" to examine the municipal policies regulating the Taipei Shilin Night Market. The concept highlights the roles of managerial autonomy and political-economic structures previously overlooked by urban managerialism. The process of decentralization evolves mainly over two stages - self-management and private management. By organizing self-managed alliances, street vendors appropriated public and private property by dealing with the municipality and local community in legal and extralegal situations in ways that supported their operations. The municipality compromised vendors' self- September management by demanding that they be licensed and registered and by building a new market. The stage of / private management begins when the municipality officially permits vending in a district by requiring vendors to 3 rent storefront arcades from a community alliance made of local property owners that allocate vending units. In the name of reallocating pre-existing extralegal street vendors, the project privileges property owners‟ profits over street vendors‟ needs for space. Field research has found that most unlicensed vendors continue occupying streets even after they are provided with legitimate vending units; five retailers in the business improvement district have rejected the arcade allocation plan by mobilizing their own social network. Shoppers continue trading with vendors outside of the district.

  • 40 Taiwanese Foods We Can't Live Without
    40 TAIWANESE FOODS WE CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT DELL TW TA TEAM KINO TANG 1. BRAISED PORK RICE (滷肉飯) A Taiwanese saying goes, "Where there is a wisp of smoke from the kitchen chimney, there will be lurou fan" (braised pork with rice). The popularity of this humble dish cannot be overstated. "Lurou fan" is synonymous with Taiwan. The Taipei city government launched a "braised pork rice is ours" campaign last year after Michelin’s Green Guide Taiwan claimed that the dish is from Shandong Province in mainland China. A good bowl of lurou fan has finely chopped, not quite minced, pork belly, slow-cooked in aromatic soy sauce with five spices. There should be an ample amount of fattiness, in which lies the magic. The meat is spooned over hot rice. A little sweet, a little salty, the braised pork rice is comfort food perfected. Jin Feng Lu Rou Fan (金峰滷肉飯), 10 Roosevelt Road, Section 1, Jhongjheng District, Taipei City; +886 2 2396 0808 2. BEEF NOODLE (牛肉麵) You know it's an obsession when it gets its own festival. Beef noodle soup is a dish that inspires competitiveness and innovation in chefs. Everyone wants to claim the title of beef noodle king. From visiting Niu Ba Ba for one of the most expensive bowls of beef noodle soup in the world (TW$10,000, or US$334) to a serendipitous duck into the first makeshift noodle shack that you spot, it's almost impossible to have a bad beef noodle experience in Taiwan. Lin Dong Fang's beef shanks with al dente noodles in a herbal soup are a perennial favorite.
