MAJOR EVENTS OF THE YEAR

JAN

To enhance the vibrancy of the Market
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.

FEB

Riding on the implementation of the Nga Tsin Wai Road/Carpenter Road
Project (KC-017), URA has commenced the first phase of revitalisation works of
the Carpenter Road Park. Upon completion, the park layout will be restructured
with new design and upgraded facilities alongside new passageways to
enhance walkability and connectivity with its surrounding neighbourhoods.

MAR

Under the Community Service
Partnership Scheme (CSPS), volunteers of
the Upcycling Project produced bespoke
furniture out of recycled wood materials and
offered decluttering services for grassroots
families in the old districts, improving the
quality of life of the beneficiaries. In
addition, CSPS volunteers continued to
organise art creation activities and provide
gerontechnology applications to improve
the physical and mental health of the seniors
in elderly homes.

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
