Taipei is the city in Taiwan where the largest number of people work and live. Every day, urban dwellers walk back and forth along the routes connecting their homes and offices, yet they rarely have the opportunity to step into neighborhoods they do not normally pass through. Their fast-paced steps make citizens feel unfamiliar with Taipei's built environment and architectural styles, and they do not even know what novel and special places Taipei has to recommend to friends from out of town, apart from the well-known tourist attractions. Although Taipei is home to many, citizens' urban image of, identification with, and sense of belonging to this home remain very weak. Open House Taipei opens up spaces in the city that are normally difficult to access, opening up opportunities for dialogue and exploration, allowing Taipei residents to rediscover this city, establishing Taipei's city identity, and further deepening their identification, pride, and sense of belonging toward Taipei.
