This chapter examines the large-scale economic and societal changes that have occurred in Taiwan since 1971, such as the development of a new, more activist middle class, and a new urban environment. It begins with an examination of the development of the export-oriented industrial economy that transformed the face of the island, made it a major player in the world economy, and forced the pace of both social change and political evolution. The conclusion explores the process of urbanization that changed the face of the Taiwanese landscape. The government realized from the beginning that import substitution was not an end in itself but simply a starting point for a more sophisticated and more realistic economic strategy. From the mid-1950s to the end of that decade, certain measures were taken to move the economy to this second, more sophisticated stage of development
