The Taipei Pop Music Center will become a new global center for the music industry. It will speak to existing typologies of Taipei music and public space by linking to a larger set of citywide greenways, transport systems, and pedestrian bridges. It will be at once a platform for Taipei life and a world center for the music industry. Pop music, while a global phenomenon, is regional in its definition. The East Asian music scene typifies the phenomenon; while it crosses borders and cultures and dialects, it nevertheless has produced styles and genres with distinct transnational form and appeal.
