Project Description

K7 is the ‘flagship’ project for the Urban Renewal Authority as Kwun Tong exhibits some of the Territory’s most intractable urban problems requiring comprehensive intervention. The purpose of the Study is to formulate an implementable Development Scheme Plan (DSP) for Kwun Tong Town Centre (approx. 5.35 ha) with the integration of “redevelopment”, “revitalisation” and “rehabilitation” approaches. The multi-disciplinary team is required to conduct a building condition survey, a public opinion survey, a property market study, a financial analysis and other technical assessments prior to the formulation of three initial development options. A preferred development option incorporating comments from relevant Government Departments is to be formulated and an implementation strategy is to be developed addressing the phasing and land grant issues. TCL is responsible for the submission of the DSP with supporting technical assessments to the Town Planning Board for planning approval. The Study also includes the development of a Government, Institution and Community (G/IC) Complex to the southeast of the Study Area for the reprovisioning of affected and provisioning of new G/IC facilities. TCL is the Coordinator of the Study and responsible for all the land use planning, urban design, landscape and social impact inputs.
