作品英文描述

The First image reveals a mountainside covered with numerous tin shacks, appearing aged and almost devoid of inhabitants. In Taiwan’s countryside and suburbs, there are mainly old houses remaining, which has led to population outflow, lack of distinctive features, and tourism opportunities. Young people are willing to live in tin shacks or old houses in the suburbs rather than leaving the cities in search of better job opportunities. Additionally, Taiwan seems overly focused on achieving uniform development, whether to bridge the urban-rural gap or for speculative land development purposes. However, the country’s widespread establishment of science parks and development projects has led to the loss of distinctive characteristics in various regions.
The second image represents my ideal place, not filled with tin shacks, but instead preserving natural environment. I suggest that suburbs and rural areas should prioritize preserving their natural environments rather than constant construction. If every city can achieve this, with some preserving farmland, others rivers, and others mountainous areas, it would create distinctiveness in each place. This not only forms local characteristics but also boosts tourism, consequently creating job opportunities. Taiwan could encourage suburban and rural development in a different way. Furthermore, Taiwan still lacks greenery whether in urban or suburban areas. To achieve sustainable cities and communities, it’s not necessary to build expensive green buildings. I believe planting more trees is a better approach. Increasing the number of trees not only purifies the air but also beautify the cityscape, providing people with places to relax and unwind.
