西元（以下同）1960年代，臺灣都市發展已經出現許多困境，政府必須擁有明確的方針，擬定未來都市發展計畫，以解決日益叢生的問題。當時，中華民國是聯合國的會員國，與其保持密切的合作關係，致力爭取聯合國特別基金、聯合國發展計畫，獲得國際技術援助，俾使聯合國都市計畫顧問團來到臺灣考察，協助政府擬定都市發展計畫；另外，中華民國也獲得聯合國的資助，遴選臺灣都市計畫人員赴國外考察、進修，提升專業技能，擴展國際視野。中華民國政府依據聯合國的規定，成立都市建設與住宅計畫小組，讓臺灣技術官員、年輕學員透過平臺與聯合國都市計畫顧問團交流，充實各項知識與技能，共謀臺灣都市發展。另一方面，聯合國都市計畫顧問團也協助臺灣大專院校設立都市計畫學系、都市計畫研究所，培訓都市計畫新血輪，至今仍深刻影響臺灣人才的培育。值得一提的是，聯合國都市計畫顧問團也針對當時臺北市升格後行政區域管轄範圍，與臺北市鐵路高架化提供諸多建言，為臺北市都市發展建設提供寶貴參據。

In the 1960s, there were many problems during Taiwan’s urban development. The government must have a clear policy and formulate a future urban development plan to solve the growing problems. At that time, the Republic of China was a member of the United Nations, maintaining close cooperative relations with the United Nations, and striving for the United Nations Special Fund, the United Nations Development Plan, and earning international technical assistance. The United Nations Urban Planning Advisory Group came to Taiwan to conduct inspections and assist the government in planning urban development. The plan, as well as sending Taiwan urban planners to study abroad, expanded the international perspective. In accordance with the United Nations regulations, the government has set up a city construction and housing planning team to allow Taiwan’s technical bureaucrats and young students to continuously learn from the experience of the United Nations Urban Planning Advisory Group on this platform to conspire Taiwan’s urban development. On the other hand, the United Nations Urban Planning Advisory Group has also assisted colleges and universities in Taiwan to set up the Department of Urban Planning and the Institute of Urban Planning to train new blood of urban planning, which still has a profound impact on Taiwan’s talent training. It is worth mentioning that the United Nations Urban Planning Advisory Group also provided advice on the jurisdiction of Taipei’s upgraded administrative area at that time, as well as the elevated railway in Taipei, and witnessed Taipei’s urban development history.
