Taipei's Dongmen Market redevelopment plan reduces building height, concerning vendors

Taipei's Dongmen Market redevelopment plan has been reduced from 14 to 9 floors, surprising local vendors. The change from a planned 14-story building to a 9-story one has caused concern among vendors who hoped for larger stall spaces and better overall market planning. The market, built in 1928 and last renovated in 1989, is slated for demolition in May 2025. The city is evaluating suggestions for increasing the building's height and potentially adding a connection to the MRT station.
