    cities of New Taipei and Keelung with a population of 7,047,559,[10][11] the 40th most-populous urban area in the world—roughly one-third of Taiwanese citizens live in the metro district.

  • Considered to be a global city and rated as an Alpha − City by GaWC,[12] Taipei is part of a major high-tech industrial area.

  • [30][31] In the late 19th century, the Taipei area, where the major Han Chinese settlements in northern Taiwan and one of the designated overseas trade ports, Tamsui, were
    located, gained economic importance due to the booming overseas trade, especially that of tea export.

  • Although growth within the city itself gradually slowed thereafter[33] — its population had become relatively stable by the mid-1990s – Taipei remained one of the world’s
    most densely populated urban areas, and the population continued to increase in the region surrounding the city, notably along the corridor between Taipei and Keelung.

  • This structure and the adjacent governor’s office (now Presidential Office Building), served as the two most recognizable public buildings in Taiwan during its period of Japanese
    rule.

  • [10] Even though the population of the city has been decreasing in recent years, the population of adjacent New Taipei has been increasing.

  • [54] This development is part of the so-called Taiwan Miracle which has seen dramatic growth in the city following foreign direct investment in the 1960s.

The Constitution of the Republic of China does not stipulate any city, including Taipei or its pre-1949 capital, Nanjing, as the de jure capital of the Republic of China. However, Taipei has been designated the official seat of central government
by a decree, thus making it the de facto capital.[5][6][7] Despite having no actual control, the People’s Republic of China considers Taipei to be the capital of its claimed Taiwan Province.
