我國都市更新歷經長久發展，其發展與後設治理契合，包括層級、市場與網絡治理的混合治理現象；也符合公共行政典範遞移的現象，即公共行政、新公共管理與新公共治理的演進。都更早期，政府致力於公共建設並推動都市更新，惟效率不彰；其後，政府以公私協力模式推動都市更新，但並未善盡後設治理管理者的角色，導致民間自辦者基於自利，產生不小的負面影響；現今政府從後設治理者的角度進行治理的治理，但這些後設策略能否奏效仍需時間的觀察。上述我國都更的演進，均可以透過治理失靈、治理移轉、混合治理與後設治理等理論加以觀察、解釋，本文將其稱為我國「都市更新後設治理」。

Urban renewal in R.O.C. has undergone long-term development fitting with metagovernance, which includes the mixed governance of hierarchy, market, and network governance. This development also conforms to the paradigm shifts of public administration, namely traditional public administration, New Public Management and New Public Governance. The government was committed to public construction in the early era of urban renewal, but its urban renewal programs were inefficient. The government later promoted urban renewal with public-private partnerships, but did not fully assume a role of metagovernor. Therefore, private developers of urban renewal caused some negative impacts due to self-interest. Recent governments have started to manage governance of governance from the perspective of metagovernance, but their success remains to be seen. This evolution of urban renewal in Taiwan, refers to as “Taiwan’s metagovernance of urban renewal” in this article, can be observed and explained through the theories of governance failure, governance shift, mixed governance and metagovernance.
