在都市發展之歷程中，計畫是都市發展驅動因素中重要之一環。都市計畫的實施，以及自然環境、人文、社會經濟發展及歷史等的相互影響之下，進而產生了都市獨特的紋理與空間型態，並探討都市空間結構，以及都市發展驅動力。
本研究不單單以臺北市為研究對象，還加上新北市都市發展範圍，著重探討1949年至2016年，臺北都會區之都市發展。透過臺北都會區的歷年計畫來瞭解都市發展進程與歷史，藉由蒐集臺北都會區的歷史圖資與都市計畫歷史資料來解析其演變過程，再透過空間型構法則分析以了解日治時期至今日演變的臺北都會區之空間發展變化。
都市計畫的介入，使得日治時期後都市發展轉變為計畫驅動都市發展的形態。藉由繪製史料圖資，以了解臺北地區空間區位演變，透過彙整歷史文獻回顧，以作為研究結果之史料驗證與依據，再透過實證分析，以及套疊圖資的推測，探討計畫的出現是否影響都市發展。
In the course of urban development, planning is one of the important factors in the driving force of urban development. The implementation of urban planning, as well as the interaction of the natural environment, humanities, socio-economic development and history, has produced a unique urban texture and spatial pattern, and explored the urban spatial structure and the driving force of urban development.
This study is not only based on the city of Taipei, but also the scope of urban development in New Taipei City, focusing on the urban development of the Taipei metropolitan area from 1949 to 2016. Through the calendar plan of the Taipei Metropolitan Area to understand the urban development process and history, the historical process of the Taipei Metropolitan Area and the historical data of the urban planning are used to analyze the evolution process, and then through the spatial structure analysis to understand the Japanese occupation period. The spatial development of the Taipei metropolitan area that has evolved to this day.
The involvement of urban planning has transformed urban development after the Japanese occupation into a form of planning-driven urban development. By drawing historical materials to understand the spatial evolution of the Taipei area, through the review of the historical literature, as a historical data verification and basis for the research results, and then through empirical analysis, and the speculation of the nested map, to explore whether the project appears Affect urban development.
