New Taipei City Government Building Introduction
The New Taipei City Government Administration Building was completed and inaugurated on March 24, 2003. This is a technologically advanced, smart building with 33 floors above ground and 4 underground levels, standing at a height of 140.5 meters, aiming to provide high-quality and efficient services to the citizens of New Taipei City. The City Government Building is interconnected with the Banqiao Station, which integrates Taiwan Railways, Taiwan High Speed Rail, and the MRT, as well as long-distance bus and public transportation stations via underground corridors on Xinfuzhong Road and Xinzhan Road, ensuring convenient and comprehensive transportation. In addition to providing a quality office environment for employees, the building offers multifunctional service places such as a daycare center, restaurants, a bakery, a scenic restaurant, and an observation deck. The first-floor lobby features an exhibition area designed for public space, connected to a citizens' plaza that is not only lush with greenery but also hosts various folk and cultural performances from time to time. Citizens can rest and stroll in this shared public space, experiencing the showcase of architecture and art that reflects the city's internationalization. Besides serving as the administrative center, the New Taipei City Administration Building also plays a crucial role as a disaster response and traffic command hub. The city's Disaster Response Center and Traffic Control Center are located on the 9th floor of the building. The establishment of the Traffic Control Center allows for appropriate management of important traffic intersections throughout the city, adjusting peak traffic flow and alleviating congestion through signal transmission displays. The Disaster Response Center connects citywide disaster response situations and disaster sites via satellite transmission and SNG connections, enabling comprehensive grasp of disaster conditions, allowing for the best rescue methods to be implemented in a timely manner, thereby ensuring the safety of citizens' lives and property.
