The past history of Taipei has been buried gradually in peoples’ memories after generations and regime changes but clues to the past still remain.
When turning a corner, we may suddenly stumble on a street view that may have been familiar before – the features of the past may be hidden within our modern city.
The daily lives of the people in bygone generations still have surprising connections to our own lives.
This book has selected 12 historical maps from 1895, and over 200 old photos. Using the Geographic Information System (GIS) technique, the book integrates old and new maps, allowing users to travel in time while walking around the city.
Furthermore, the book even combines with the free “Taipei Historical Maps” mobile APP. If users scan the QR Code of the destinations, then it will link directly to the APP maps and the users can instantly see streetscape photos of past and present. It is the first ever guide book to combine annotated street photos from two different timelines to allow readers to experience travel through time and space.
Experts in the fields of history and the humanities were invited to write articles and fascinating stories based around 24 themes. The readers are invited to compare the maps and photos, while vividly experiencing historical detail designed to fuel their imaginations.
