Project Description

TCL were appointed to undertake a study of the Kwun Tong Town Centre. Urban renewal has become an important focus for Hong Kong in its determination to become one of the region’s foremost cities and the formation of the Urban Renewal Authority marks a significant step in this direction. The Authority has selected a number of key areas where the age, pattern or complexity of development and urban problems requires comprehensive intervention. Kwun Tong is probably one of the territory’s most intractable urban problem areas in terms of the impact of major transportation corridors and the juxtaposition of industrial, residential and town centre uses upon the social, environmental and economic fabric of the District. TCL was responsible for preparing conceptual layout plans, illustrations, explanatory statement and implementation approaches as part of a package to show the vision for urban renewal in the Town centre over the next 20 years.
