The Study sought
to investigate the means of revitalising and regenerating the Tsim Sha
Tsui East waterfront area, an area of 16 ha overlooking central Victoria
Harbour, Hong Kong. A lack of forward planning in relation to pedestrianisation
and local amenities has resulted in the area's isolation from nearby
tourist destinations.
The revitalisation package has therefore put forward
measures and proposals to redress the adverse impacts due to the East
Rail construction and to regenerate the area as a destination for local
and overseas visitors. The revitalisation package includes an underground
retail / entertainment focus; proper open space framework; amphitheatre;
a landscape deck connecting to the waterfront; promenade extension;
pedestrian-friendly walkways; and a corniche structure at the waterfront
promenade.
