The e-Sport industry is more than a “new emerging sport” as recognized by many countries. Most importantly, the business opportunity and chance to develop new technology brought to you by e-Sport are all heading to the next out-breaking growth stage. It has a bright future! In Taiwan, e-Sport has an enormous number of players and groups of audiences. People have already established the e-Sport Alliance and e-Sport Association to participate in international tournaments in Taiwan. Many critical IT industry factories also collaborate with e-Sport serving as a key point for promotion. It is obvious that private business has already stepped out by walking in step as a pioneer. To look into the future, the government can set the tone for the e-Sport industry first by establishing it in a correct position in the government-coaching unit or to formulate e-Sport regulations to encourage the software and hardware industry. It may extend to e-Sport HR development. Or else, it may help the industry to upgrade themselves by taking a competitive position with global advantage!

The rise of e-Sport depends on the cooperation of some pre-requisites including video games and computer technology, network speed and business models. The current e-Sport industry remained as a by-product of some specific commercial game companies. It reveals a power with multiple mountain peaks with a changing business model and the rise and fall of the game market. The Taipei city government shall play an active leadership role to perfect the career planning for got-talent contestants and relevant complementary measures, and encourage manufacturer and business model investors to think mainly about the e-Sport, and to cooperate with other relevant digital cultural and arts industries. It certainly can make Taipei City become one of the capacity core and export centers in the global game industry.

Few people would use the concept of “business district” to define the legendary city of Berkeley in California. However, the shops, the products, and the merchants, have all inherited an aura of Last Century democracy. This city, with a population of about 100,000 has safeguarded the values of the previous generation, as well as developing its own unique democratic brand.
A successful business model needs to be screened and challenged by the market mechanism. To introduce a spirit of democracy, fairness, and justice into the [Cooperation-Sharing] management model, three aspects need to be given attention: 1. The provision of seed capital/angel capital. Relatively open opportunities of capital turnover need to be provided for startup and managerial teams as well as a flexible and open managerial model; 2. The joint promotion and marketing of a business network: Joint promotion platforms and events should be launched to introduce brands and companies as well as to allow locals and travelers to know the location of stores that have this spirit of democracy, fairness, and justice. 3. Studies of related business and marketing operations: Investigations should be conducted on the operation models of global and domestic businesses. The key factors and potential for the integration of democracy, fairness, and justice into the management model should be summarized and understood. Taipei City has been successfully positioned as a contemporary city and a happy cultural capital. Only with diverse perspectives and positions, can Taipei be said to have developed innovative [cooperation-sharing] businesses and to proudly interpret this as its contribution to civilization.

The purpose of business district counselling is to develop the local business environment and help the stores that often fight a lone battle against fierce competition. By engaging them in the business project, they will devote themselves to the re-shaping of street landscape, boost their competitive advantages, and develop further internationally. The key is the creation of differential competitive features in all the business districts around Taiwan. Many business district organizations have been developed in different cities and counties, but to really attain sustainable management and always catch the eye of the consumer, their focus should include: a definition of consumer groups, the development of innovative and creative management and products, and the concept of brand vision. The management and integration of business districts should also consider, the rapid mass transit network and the integration of elements of design that feature and distinguish the particular business district. The rebuilding and management of brand business districts, cooperation between the public and the private sector, and the enhancement of international visibility should all be given careful consideration. In this era of leisure economy, tourism not only involves traveling around, but also focuses on experiencing local culture and life. Surprises exist in many of the diverse business districts in Taiwan, and the vision to “actively develop the brand power of a business district and lead new fashionable cultural creation” through public and private partnership invites participation.

When carrying out urban planning it is necessary to continuously measure the reality of life and business, as well as making use of local knowledge, to find a co-creative mechanism for sustainable action. Looking back at the convenient “mixed residential and business district” housing model that has developed over the years in Taiwan we see that it has indeed become a feature of the country. The key to urban governance lies in the integration of all the many different forces to face the challenges and take advantage of all the opportunities. If this is done at all the different stages, it will allow the building of consensus on actual urban development, and also ensure that a workable mechanism will emerge. Several different types of “business district” such as “linear streets” and “night markets” have developed in Taipei and some urban planners use the term “cultural landscape” to describe them. Their rich cultural content can be seen in life style as well as in vibrant tourism. The Taipei City Government should re-initiate active “urban design” and combine it with a “creative city” strategy to promote economic and cultural vigor. This kind of industrial regeneration will deepen the cultural content of Taipei City and improve the living standard of the residents. The operating mechanism should integrate urban architecture and street morphology to provide housing that satisfies both the cultural and legal needs.
