台中是一個不斷向外擴張的計畫都市，1895年在英國技師巴爾頓（W.K Barton）與濱野彌四郎的「台中市街區劃設計報告書」中，將台中市規劃為「棋盤狀」的計畫都市，而1900年1月6日正式公告了「台中市區改正」計畫，開啟了台中都市形態發展的基礎；1911年公布的「台中市區擴張計畫」中，規劃了約528公頃的區域，預計容納約５萬人口，人口密度約為100人／公頃，屬於２０世紀初期有著田園城鎮風貌的計畫都市，公園、學校、銀行、醫院、車站、工場、自來水廠等，這些西歐產業革命後的近代都市設施，紛紛開始出現在街頭，市區內縱橫著綠蔭大道和河川，當時的台中，可以說是亞洲第一個計畫都市。
日治時期的計畫都市範圍，也就是目前台中的舊市區，早年的舊市區因鐵路交通的便捷，促成商業活動的聚集而蓬勃發展，形成台中市最早的中心商業區，同時也是人們工作、居住與生活消費的區域。戰後由於大量人口的移入，舊市區的周邊便開始進行了市地重劃，人口郊區化現象開始出現形成，促使了舊市區漸漸的沒落。
以舊市區的中區為例，1980年代中，人口曾達到約５萬人，人口密度約為500人／公頃，屬於高密度的居住狀態。然而，當1978年高速公路全線通車後，都市交通運具的生活習慣開始轉變，私人自家車的持有比率逐漸增加，沿著台中港路（現台灣大道）和 80米環中路一帶，外圍道路沿線的商圈發展漸漸出現，陸續擴大的重劃區、七期的新市政中心、水湳經貿園區等等，由汽車帶動的都市成長模式開始形成，都市擴張（urban sprawl）便以脫韁之馬的速度，加速地往外擴張，造成了舊市區的空洞化。
回顧台中都市擴張的發展過程，1935年公布了第一次的市區擴張計劃，之後在1942年並進行了都市計畫區的變更，而成為戰後1956年都市計畫的基礎，接著在1970年代起陸續推動的重劃區開發、1980年代的七期新市政中心、1990年代的水湳經貿園區、2004年起的後期發展區等等，這些都說明了台中都市擴張的特徵。都市不斷擴張的前提，在於人口與經濟不斷地成長，早期的都市擴張和郊區化有著自然的需求，反映出對於理想生活型態的追求，從日治時期的大和村或是戰後的模範街、七十年代的榕莊和唐莊、八十年代的理想國等，都表現出某個時空下的生活想像。
台中的都市區域面積增加了約五、六倍的面積，人口卻沒有相對地成長，台中市成為一個虛胖的城市。原本都市周邊的邊緣地區，出現門禁社區、高樓大廈和臨時性的汽車旅館、卡拉OK並存的奇特地景，以及各類的大學校區和園區（工業區、科學園區）共存的狀態。這種向外擴張的郊區化現像，類似於美國九十年代的邊緣都市（Edge City）發展，這樣的都市擴張過程，在不斷地鏟除舊紋理的建設性破壞下，淹沒了周邊的自然環境與農村聚落，除了帶來地域社會的瓦解與環境的破壞，也讓我們的都市漸漸地喪失了活力。現代都市不斷擴張的前提，在於人口與經濟不斷地成長，然而當整個台灣的人口成長率逐漸呈現負成長，而台中的空屋率也高達26%的狀況之下，我們已經到了應該重新思考戰後台中都市發展模式的成長神話，重新來面對台中郊區化與舊市區空洞化的課題。
Taichung is a constantly expanding project city. In 1895, it was in British technician Barton (W.K In the "Taichung City Street Planning Design Report" by Barton and Shiro Shiro, Taichung City is planned as a "chess and board" city, and on January 6, 1900, the "Taichung City District Correction" plan was officially announced, opening the foundation for Taichung urban development; in the "Taichung City District Extension Plan" announced in 1911, an area of about 528 hull was planned and the area was planned. With a population of 50,000, the population density is about 100 people per tumbled. It belongs to the graphic city with the style of the garden town in the early 20th century. It is a painting city with the style of the garden town, including parks, schools, banks, hospitals, stations, workshops, and water factories. These modern urban facilities after the Western European Revolution began to appear on the streets, and the city was surrounded by green avenues and rivers. At that time, Taichung could be said to be the first painting city in Asia.
The scope of the planned urban area during the Japanese reign, that is, the old city in Taichung, in the early years, the old city area flourished due to the convenience of railway transportation, which promoted the gathering of business activities, forming the earliest central business district in Taichung City, and it was also a region where people work, live and spend money on their lives. After the war, due to the migration of a large number of people, urban and provincial reorganizations began to be planned around the old city, and the phenomenon of suburban population began to emerge, which led to the decline of the old city.
Taking the central area of the old city as an example, in the mid-1980s, the population reached about 50,000 people, with a population density of about 500 people per kilogram, which belongs to a high-density living state. However, after the full-line expressway was opened in 1978, the living habits of urban transportation vehicles began to change, and the ownership ratio of private cars gradually increased. Along Taichung Port Road (Taiwan Avenue) and 80-meter Central Road, the development of business districts along the outer roads has gradually emerged. The continuous expansion of the planned area, the new municipal center of the seventh phase, the water trade park area, etc., was formed by the urban growth model of automobiles, and the urban expansion (urban) Sprawl) accelerates the expansion outward at the speed of a horse, causing hollowing out in the old city.
Looking back at the development process of Taichung's urban expansion, the first urban expansion plan was announced in 1935, and then the urban planning area was changed in 1942, which became the foundation of the urban planning project in 1956 after the war. Then the development of the re-planned area that was promoted in the 1970s, the seventh new municipal center in the 1980s, the water trade park area in the 1990s, the later development area since 2004, etc., all of which illustrate the characteristics of Taichung's urban expansion. The premise of continuous expansion of cities is that the population and economy continue to grow. Early urban expansion and suburbanization had natural needs, reflecting the pursuit of ideal lifestyles. From the Yamato Village during the Japanese reign or the Mosaic Street after the war, the Rongzhuang and Tangzhuang in the 1970s, and the ideal country in the 1980s, they all show the imagination of life under a certain time and space.
The urban area of Taichung has increased by about five or six times, and the population has not grown relatively, and Taichung City has become a fat city. In the area around the city, there are strange scenery of gate-blocked communities, high-rise buildings, temporary car hotels, karaokes, as well as various university campuses and parks (industrial areas, scientific park areas) coexisting. This outwardly expanded suburban phenomenon is similar to the development of Edge City in the 1990s. This urban expansion process, under the construction of the old-split structure, flooded the surrounding natural environment and rural settlements. In addition to bringing the disintegration of regional society and the destruction of the environment, it also made our cities gradually lose their vitality. The premise of modern cities expanding continuously is that population and economy continue to grow. However, as the population growth rate of the entire Taiwan gradually grows negatively, and Taichung's vacancy rate is also higher than 26%, we have reached the point where we should rethink the growth myth of Taichung's urban development model in the future, and re-surface the topic of hollowing out the suburbs and old cities of Taichung.
