Issues like flood control, water pollution, habitat conservation, cultural identity and environmental education are all having stronger influence in the development of new waterfront projects around the world. However, as observed in Taipei and New Taipei City, many riverside parks are still lacking of an integrative way to address all these issues, therefore the need for an observation criteria which allows to determine ways for improving the ecological characteristics of riverside parks. By using the principles of ecological regenerative design, ecosystem services, sustainable landscapes and waterfront design, and also by analyzing international examples of waterfront regeneration projects, this study developed a thoretical framework to first evaluate the current design of Dajia Riverside Park in Taipei. Then, on-site observations were conducted, along with the analysis of satellite images and historical data related to the Park, all of which allowed this research to understand the evolution process and current circumstances of Dajia Riverside Park. Finally, this study proposed re-design strategies in order to increase the ecological performance and cultural significance of this riverside park in Taipei City.
