Abstract

Religions play a significant role in urban development, reflecting the cultural, social, and economic dynamics of urban societies. In Taipei, religious locations are an integral part of the city’s cultural landscape, reflecting the diverse religious traditions and practices of its people. This research outlines a two-part study exploring the significance of religious locations in Taipei, comparing the meanings of local and non-local religions, and investigating their role in spiritual sustainability.
