Mong Kok Streetscape Improvement
The URA continued to work with relevant Government departments to enhance the local streetscape, ambience and attractiveness of five themed streets in Mong Kok, namely Flower Market Road, Tung Choi Street, Sai Yee Street, Fa Yuen Street and Nelson Street, with due regard to their unique characteristics. Improvement works at Flower Market Road were completed while improvement works at Tung Choi Street were taken up by Government departments. Remaining works at Nelson Street, Sai Yee Street and Fa Yuen Street are being conducted in two phases. Phase One works were commenced in June 2021 with target completion date in early 2023 while Phase Two works will commence in the latter part of 2022.
Community Making at Staunton Street/Wing Lee Street Neighbourhood, Sheung Wan (H19) (With 88-90 Staunton Street as Grade II Historic Building)
In line with the 2018 Policy Address which outlined the vision of revitalising building clusters with special character and urban fabric under the Staunton Street/Wing Lee Street Project (H19), the URA conducted various stakeholder engagements and completed a Community Making Study for the H19 neighbourhood. Based on a community-driven design approach, the revitalisation works of URA’s acquired buildings in H19 commenced in May 2021.
Upon the completion of works by end of 2022, the units in the revitalised buildings will be put to adaptive reuses as co-living spaces under the management of the co-living operator(s) to be procured, giving new impetus to rejuvenate the aged community and surrounding areas. Concurrently, the URA continued to advocate ‘Collaboration, Innovation and Empowerment’ under the community making initiatives by exploring rehabilitation opportunities in partnership with the building owners in the neighbourhood area to improve the overall built environment.
The URA and community members in the H19 neighbourhood join hands to revitalise the Staunton Street and Shing Wong Street area by setting up the community farm.
