            Block of Peel Street/Graham Street Project
            (H18) and its adjacent Graham Market, the
            URA partnered with a local organisation to
            run  the  “Graham  Vibrancy  Market”
            programme comprising workshops, busking
            events and a closing ceremony, attracting
            many participants to the market stalls and
            bringing businesses to the operators and
            hawkers.

               The Sai Yee Street/Flower Market Road Project (YTM-013)
            was commenced under the “planning-led, district-based”
            urban renewal approach to materialise the Development Node
            of “Nullah Road Urban Waterway” in Mong Kok East as
            proposed in the Yau Mong District Study with the construction
            of an “Urban Waterway” and a Waterway Park as a new “blue-
            green feature”. With the enhancement of the Flower Market,
            the project aligns with the planning theme of shaping Mong
            Kok East into an “Exuberant Commercial District” enriched with
            social, leisure and recreational and diversified shopping
            attractions.                                          Artist Impression
