What happened
The National Land Management Agency is overseeing the Kaohsiung New Town development, a 219-hectare Phase III project intended to meet demand for housing and business properties. This plan involves clearing approximately 154 hectares of trees in Qiaotou District. Chiang Huang-nu is campaigning against the government-led development project.

Why it matters
The project is part of a larger government effort to establish a semiconductor supply-chain cluster across Kaohsiung and Tainan. The Ministry of the Interior's urban planning committee approved the revised plan in principle, and the agency expects to acquire land for key roads by the end of 2027.
