The Transformation of the Old Taipei Stadium into a Community Garden Shows How Forgotten Spaces Can Gain a New Purpose, Bringing Together Residents, Encouraging Urban Farming, and Strengthening the Relationship Between City, Environment, and Local Food in a Simple and Accessible Way

The Taipei City Government decided to give new use to an abandoned stadium because it sought to reclaim a space that no longer held sports activities. The site, which served as a baseball and later football field in the 1980s, has become an environment dominated by greenery.

The change gained attention after a video published on Instagram by James Stewart.
The images, taken by Piet, show how the transformation directly affects those who live in the area.

History of the Stadium

The space, known as Zhongshan Soccer Stadium, Chungshan Soccer Stadium, or Taipei Soccer Stadium, was closed in 2008.

Farming by the Residents

Between 80 and 100 plots were organized inside the structure. They range from 1 to 3 m². Additionally, all are managed by residents who use the space to plant what they consume.

To prevent damage to the old building, most of the gardens operate in pots. This choice reduces the weight on the soil and keeps the structure safe.

The community garden also has trellised paths that provide shade and help create cooler areas. These corridors make the environment comfortable and facilitate visitor circulation.

The city government also promotes activities that teach seasonal farming. The idea is to encourage new “citizen farmers,” strengthening the community’s relationship with their own food.

Greater City Goal in Transforming the Abandoned Stadium

The project is part of the local strategy to stimulate urban microagriculture. In addition, it reinforces the city’s commitment to transforming forgotten areas into useful and community-oriented spaces, bringing more people closer to the environment.

A giant printer called the “Ferrari” of concrete has landed in Latin America and can already build a 120-square-meter house in just 48 hours, making the traditional construction site look like something from the last century.

Great Atlantic Sargassum Belt has ceased to be a climatic phenomenon and has become a biological system that feeds on itself, with 8,000 kilometers in length, 37 million tons of algae, and scientists confirm that it is now permanent.

Brazil will harvest a record crop of up to 357 million tons of grains, but it does not have the capacity to store a large part of it. The storage deficit has reached the highest level in history and is equivalent to almost the entire production of Argentina.

Under nearly 2 kilometers of ice in Antarctica, scientists have discovered an ancient landscape sculpted by rivers up to 60 million years ago, the size of Wales, preserved as a time capsule that could help predict the advance of ice towards the ocean.

Philippines begin construction of the country’s largest desalination plant in a city without enough fresh water to grow, and the 66,500 m³ per day plant will transform the sea into drinking water for 50,000 homes in 24 months with reverse osmosis technology from SUEZ and JEMCO.

Turkey is building a billion-dollar shortcut to channel billions of dollars by sea with a 45 km long canal, 275 meters wide and 20.75 meters deep, which promises to relieve the Bosphorus amid the crisis in the Strait of Hormuz.

While old buildings are often abandoned, a city in the Netherlands transformed a 1932 locomotive shed into a library with giant curtains and preserved railway memory.

A giant 3,000-ton machine had to be transported nearly 100 km in Australia because, even though it could move on its own, it might destroy its own components along the way.

A port loader larger than many buildings was shipped whole on a vessel, weighed 1,060 tons, was 84.65 meters long, and arrived almost ready to operate.

With 92% accuracy, the MAX 1.2 AC anti-tank missile places the Brazilian Infantry on a new level of deterrence: Army Commander highlights the national system as a leap in lethality against armored threats and a milestone for Brazil’s defense industry.
