過去台灣關於都市建設史的研究，主要偏重在兩個部份，一是針對都市計畫法制及其發展歷程的探討，另一則是對於個別都市之形成與發展史的研究。這樣的研究取向已經持續約20年，然而對於實質進行都市建設之組織，卻甚少見到專文討論；如此對於理解過去都市建設的狀況，很難提供較為全盤完整的基礎。 筆者之前曾經對於官方的都市建設主體進行相關研究（註1），本文乃以非官方的都市建設主體為例，集中對於其產生的因素、過程、事業內涵、所受之獎勵及限制事項等進行具體的探究，以解析出該都市建設主體的特質。 本研究想逐步累積的是台灣都市建設史的基礎，特別是針對重要而目前又欠缺之「進行土地與住宅開發事業」的部份，可透過本研究理解到當時於台灣進行該項工作所發展出的事業技術；同時其對於今日進行都市更新活化，依然提供了啟發性的官民合作組織模式。
