    Summary

    Urbanization in Taiwan accelerated post-1953 due to industrialization, leading to rapid urban population growth. Rural-urban migration, not just natural increase, significantly fueled this urban expansion.

    Area of Science:

    • Demography
    • Urban Studies
    • Economic Geography

    Background:

    • Taiwan's urbanization was minimal during Japanese rule (pre-1945) due to low industrialization and poor infrastructure.
    • Post-1953 economic plans spurred industrial growth in cities and surrounding areas, accelerating urbanization.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review research and statistical data on Taiwan's urbanization and migration patterns from 1900-1985.
    • To analyze the relationship between city growth, size, and development stages.
    • To determine the primary drivers of urban population growth in Taiwan.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of historical research and statistical data on Taiwan's population and urbanization.
    • Analysis of urban population growth rates and city growth patterns across different periods (1920-1985).

  • Comparative analysis of natural population increase versus rural-urban migration as sources of urban growth.

    • Main Results:

    • Urban population growth rates significantly outpaced the increase in the urban proportion of the total population.
    • Metropolitan dispersion increased with urbanization; city growth patterns varied (reverse U, upward-wave, J-shaped) by period and observation duration.
    • Rural-urban migration, alongside natural increase, was identified as a key driver of rapid urban growth post-1953.

    Conclusions:

    • Urbanization in Taiwan is a dynamic process influenced by economic development and migration.
    • The relationship between city size and growth is complex, depending on developmental stage and observation length.
    • Rural-urban migration played a more significant role in Taiwan's urban expansion than previously assumed by some scholars.
