People have begun to pursue a better life and a better environmental quality, leading to widespread global attention over the term “livable city." By assessing the various aspects of urban living conditions, the “most livable city” ranking has been selected which is interrelated with the overall social environment, economy and politics. Urban design is a key factor to consider prior to the establishment of a livable social environment. The planner may enhance urban livability through urban design items and practices. Hence, this study adopted Livability as the main topic, Urban design as a supplement with Taipei City as the research participant. The purpose is to use the factors of urban design planning to enhance urban livability. Through the literature review method, the relevance among urban design, quality of life, livable city and sustainable development was explored in order to gain an insight into different countries’ urban design strategies and practices. Additionally, the literature contents were incorporated to examine the correlation factors of urban design and livability standards. Furthermore, through the theories in relevant studies, the urban design and livability assessment system framework was established. Finally, the weights of respective factors were obtained using the Fuzzy Delphi Method (FDM) and Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). Research results show that the infrastructure construction has the greatest impact on the enhancement of the city’s livability, while the relative weights of the social and psychological aspects are relatively insignificant. Hence, in terms of urban livability enhancement practices, the establishment of comprehensive infrastructure should first be established, followed by the residents’ environmental sustainability concept and a focus on residents’ safety, in the hope of improving the physical environment and psychological environment related issues currently faced by mankind, thereby enhancing Taiwan’s urban livability and standard of living.
