🇹🇼🇰🇷 Day 5 brought our visit to a close with diplomatic and legislative exchanges—and a sobering reminder of the lives behind housing policy. We met with Ambassador Gow-wei Chiou at the Taipei Mission in Korea @TaiwaninKorea. He noted that Taiwan and Korea share similar historical and economic development trajectories, and that longstanding economic competition has not prevented our bilateral exchanges from continuing to deepen. Over lunch, we met with Rep. Kim Min-jeon (김민전), Vice Chair of the Korea–Taiwan Legislative Friendship Association (한·대만 의원친선협회) and a Deputy Floor Leader of the People Power Party (국민의힘). We exchanged views on legislative investigative powers, arrangements for voting away from one’s registered place of residence, public housing, and the risks of Taiwan relying too heavily on the AI industry for economic growth. Rep. Kim observed that public housing has not stopped home prices from rising, but can at least provide affordable rental homes for young people, newlyweds and older residents. She also reflected on unprecedented confrontations between Korea’s legislature and executive, drawing parallels with the institutional tensions Taiwan faces today. Our final stop was a more solemn one. Accompanied by the Korea Center for City and Environment Research (KOCER, 한국도시연구소), which we had visited on Day 1, we traveled to Sillim-dong, Gwanak-gu (관악구 신림동) to see the conditions in semi-basement homes, known as banjiha. We paid our respects to the three family members who lost their lives in a flooded semi-basement home in the neighborhood during the torrential rains of August 2022. Following that tragedy, Seoul announced it would no longer approve new semi-basement homes. Yet expanding public housing alone has not resolved every barrier. Supply remains insufficient; some residents wish to stay in neighborhoods they have called home for decades, others depend on nearby services, and some do not meet public housing eligibility requirements. Protecting everyone’s right to safe, adequate housing remains unfinished work in both Korea and Taiwan. Across these five days, we saw why housing policy must look beyond “how many homes we build” to “how people live.” These lessons deserve careful consideration as Taiwan develops social housing, housing support for young families, and new towns. The same people-centered approach applies to transport. In an aging society, we cannot ask only whether older drivers should give up their licenses—we must also ask how to help them travel safely. Moving from vehicle-centered to pedestrian-centered streets means designing around people’s needs at every stage of life. Our five-day visit has ended, but the work continues. Let’s bring these lessons home—and keep working toward a Taiwan where everyone has a safe place to live and can get home safely. #TPP #SouthKorea

🇹🇼🇰🇷 Day 4 focused on housing—not just building more units, but creating affordable homes and livable communities. We began with Professor Kim Soo-hyun (김수현) of Sejong University (세종대학교), a former presidential secretary for national policy. Reflecting on Taiwan’s two decades of social housing efforts, he emphasized that the challenge goes beyond land, funding and delivery models: does the government truly treat housing as a public priority? He noted that pledges to expand social housing in Taiwan have yet to translate into substantial increases in supply, calling for stronger public commitment, incentives for private-sector participation and dedicated institutions. He also discussed Korea’s “2+2” lease protections, a 5% cap on rent increases at renewal, and rental-contract reporting, while stressing that tenant protections must go hand in hand with expanded public housing and institutional reform. At the Seoul Metropolitan Government’s Housing Office (서울특별시 주택실) @Seoul_gov, officials introduced SHome (미리내집), launched in 2024. By combining stable rental housing with opportunities to purchase at preferential prices, the program seeks to ease housing pressures on young people and newlyweds, helping them plan for marriage and parenthood. Our field visits then took us to Gyeonggi Housing & Urban Development Corporation (GH, 경기주택도시공사)’s Dasan Jigeum A5 Gyeonggi Happy Housing, where homes for young people, newlyweds and older residents are complemented by childcare facilities and family spaces. At the Paju Project Headquarters of the Korea Land & Housing Corporation (LH, 한국토지주택공사), we learned how large-scale land assembly enables housing, roads, public transport and community facilities to be planned together—building neighborhoods, not just apartment blocks. social housing is about more than finding land and constructing buildings. It requires sustained commitment and planning around residents’ lives—connecting housing with transport, childcare and eldercare. We are bringing these lessons home to inform practical housing reform. #TPP #SouthKorea

It was a pleasure to welcome Canadian Trade Office in Taipei (CTOT) Executive Director Marie-Louise Hannan to the Taiwan People’s Party today. Our Chairman, Dr. KC Huang, exchanged views with Executive Director Hannan on Taiwan’s evolving policy priorities, Taiwan’s energy landscape and sustainable development, the upcoming 2026 local elections, as well as opportunities to further deepen Canada-Taiwan trade and people-to-people ties. We sincerely appreciate Executive Director Hannan’s visit and look forward to continuing these substantive exchanges and further strengthening the dynamic relationship between Taiwan and Canada. #TPP #TaiwanCanada

🇹🇼🇰🇷 Day 3 of our visit focused on how Seoul turns traffic-safety policy into practice. We began at the City Transportation Office, Seoul Metropolitan Government (서울특별시 교통실) @Seoul_gov, where officials introduced Seoul’s 50/30 speed policy and its approach to pedestrian-centered street design. We exchanged views on safer road environments for vulnerable users—including School Zones, Disabled Protection Zones, and Silver Zones—as well as measures for elderly drivers and CPME systems designed to prevent pedal misapplication. We then met with the Korea Transportation Safety Authority (한국교통안전공단, TS). Officials from its headquarters in Gyeongsangbuk-do traveled to Seoul for the exchange and shared Korea’s experience with CPME technology and AI-based driver-monitoring and warning systems designed to detect risky driving behavior and prevent accidents. At the Graduate School of Environmental Studies, Seoul National University (서울대학교 환경대학원), Professor Sangjin Han (한상진) walked us through international examples of pedestrian-oriented transportation and the evolution of Korea’s road-safety policies. We ended the day in the field, visiting Seoullo 7017 (서울로7017) and examining street markings and road design across Seoul to see firsthand how the city puts people-centered transportation into practice. From policy and technology to street design, Korea’s experience shows how safer roads are built through sustained, practical implementation. #TPP #SouthKorea #Transportation
