7 Mallory Street, Wan Chai
Managed and operated by the URA, 7 Mallory Street continues to collaborate with a wide spectrum of art, cultural and community organisations. In 2020/21, some 104 activities including exhibitions, performances and workshops were held in indoor and outdoor areas having implemented special on-site arrangements and social distancing measures. Efforts were also made during the year to upkeep the heritage condition with works on façade repairs, improvement in outdoor LED lighting and maintenance of the heritage brick walls. To enhance the site vibrancy and community linkage with Wan Chai, the URA has commissioned a consultancy study in February 2021, in which a series of community engagements and surveys under a design thinking approach have been made.
Art, cultural and community activities are organised from time to time at 7 Mallory Street.
Mong Kok Streetscape Improvement
To enhance the unique local characteristics and ambience of five themed streets, namely Flower Market Road, Tung Choi Street, Sai Yee Street, Fa Yuen Street and Nelson Street, various improvement works have taken place. The URA has completed the improvement works at Flower Market Road while the Government will take up the improvement works at Tung Choi Street. Improvement works for Sai Yee Street and Fa Yuen Street have been partially completed along with the completion of Skypark. A construction contract was awarded in March 2021 for carrying out improvement works at the remaining portions of Nelson Street, Sai Yee Street and Fa Yuen Street. The URA has commenced liaison works with affected shop operators and building users, and started to strategise the phasing of works.
