Yep, but the neoliberal pan-green view is that Shanghai is Communist, with grand collusion between government and big business.

On a more realistic note, the public backlash from these huge projects is considerable. With the currently questionable ability of ROC to implement effective governance, I think these huge projects may not be possible until the political situation stabilizes. Until then, empty land will continue to be the easy targets and Taiwan's cities will continue to sprawl.
