  • 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.

Development of healthy cities in Taiwan The healthy cities movement began in 1986. It was first promoted by the WHO Regional Office for Europe, and primarily targeted European cities. After almost two decades of work, the results have been very good, and European healthy cities are now exemplars for the world. As a result, WHO regional offices have started to advocate healthy cities for each of their regions. In Taiwan, the Republic of China decided to participate in the healthy cities movement in the beginning of the new Millennium. The Bureau of Health Promotion (BHP), Department of Health called for a pilot proposal in 2003, a cross-disciplinary team of scholars at National Cheng Kung University won the project, and found collaboration from Tainan City, thus, pioneered the healthy city development in Taiwan. BHP has since continued to fund other local authorities to promote healthy cities, including Miaoli County, Hualien County, Kaohsiung City and Taipei County. Since the results have been excellent, some other counties and cities have also allotted budgets to commission related departments for implementation.
