如今，這片曾經煙囪林立的工業地景正經歷轉變。市政府與中央合作推動「竹科X計畫」，規劃36公頃的產業特區，核心區約8公頃，包含竹科X基地的三棟研發大樓，聚焦AI、物聯網、5G通訊等創新產業。其餘區域則規劃為「藝文高地」，將設置新竹文創館、兒童探索館及國際展演中心，打造結合藝術人文與親子教育的文化新聚落。從殖民時期的水利基礎建設、戰後的肥料工業，到今日的智慧園區願景，公道五路見證新竹百年工業轉型與城市地景蛻變。
This former industrial landscape is now undergoing redevelopment. The government's "HSIP X Project" designates a 36-hectare zone featuring R&D buildings focused on AI, IoT, and 5G industries. The surrounding "Arts Highland" will include a creative arts center, children's discovery museum, and international performance venue. From colonial-era waterworks to postwar fertilizer production to today's tech park vision, Gongdao 5th Road encapsulates a century of industrial transformation in Hsinchu.
