Area Assessment The area (about 0.2 ha) involves two industrial buildings flanked by Victoria Road in the south and Sai Ning Street in the north. The area is to the south of the Kennedy Town “I” area (Site A1) (Plan D1). Both buildings involved are under multiple ownership and in poor condition. One building is 22 storeys high and 25 years old while another building is 25 storeys high and 26 years old. The overall vacancy rate of the area is about 2.1%, which is significantly lower than both the territorial figure of 6.0% for all “R(E)” areas and the average of 4.6% for three areas in Hong Kong Island. No subdivided unit was found in both buildings. In terms of usage, Warehouse/Storage is the largest use, occupying about 63.6% of the GFA. The second largest use is Office (about 10.0%) and the third largest use is Manufacturing/Workshop (about 9.3%). “Other Uses” take up about 2.8% of the GFA, including about 1.6% for domestic use and about 1.2% for studio. If taking into account the two industrial buildings in the subject “R(E)” area and the two industrial buildings in the adjacent Kennedy Town “I” area together, the overall vacancy rate is about 0.6%. Warehouse/Storage is still the largest use, occupying about 89.6% of * Conversion factor from internal floor area to gross floor area is 1.3333. Kennedy Town “R(E)” Area 3 the GFA, to be followed by Office (about 2.9%) and Manufacturing/Workshop (about 2.7%). “Other Uses” account for about 0.8% of the GFA. In terms of employment, about 279 workers are estimated to be engaged in the occupied non-subdivided units of the industrial buildings in the area, including about 96 workers (34.4%) in the manufacturing business and about 183 workers (65.6%) in the non-manufacturing business. The overall figure only accounts for about 0.1% of the total of 360,718 persons engaged (other than those in the civil service) in various business/industries in the Central and Western District identified by C&SD in June 2014. So far, there is no planning or building plan approval for any redevelopment or wholesale conversion of the two concerned industrial buildings. Under the Land Use Review on the Western Part of Kennedy Town, the area is proposed to be retained as “R(E)”, which is intended primarily for phasing out of existing industrial uses through redevelopment (or conversion) for residential use on application to the Board. Whilst existing industrial uses will be tolerated, new industrial developments are not permitted in order to avoid perpetuation of I/R interface problem. Recommendation To retain the area as “R(E)”. * Conversion factor from internal floor area to gross floor area is 1.3333.

The island, which is thirty-two square miles in area, is situated at 22 degrees North latitude and 114 degrees East longitude, and is one of the Ladrone group, off the south-eastern coast of China. It consists of a broken range of barren hills, nearly 2,000 feet high, stretching eleven miles east and west and from two to five miles in the other direction. There are few valleys and no arable land. The narrow strait, about a mile across, between the island and the mainland forms the harbour. The island struggled out of the waters of the primeval oceans, many millions of years ago. When all North China, except the mountains, was under the sea, this island stood as land and probably even then was separated from the mainland.

  • Exploring the Diversity of Gentrification and the Role of Gender in Hong Kong, 1986 to 2006
    EXPLORING THE DIVERSITY OF GENTRIFICATION AND THE ROLE OF GENDER IN HONG KONG, 1986 TO 2006 By Minting Ye A DISSERTATION Submitted to Michigan State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Geography –Doctor of Philosophy 2014 ABSTRACT EXPLORING THE DIVERSITY OF GENTRIFICATION AND THE ROLE OF GENDER IN HONG KONG, 1986 TO 2006 By Minting Ye Gentrification is restructuring the geography of cities all over the world (Clark, 2005; Hackworth and Smith, 2001; Lees, 2000; Smith and Defilippis, 1999; Wyly and Hammel, 1999). As a global city, Hong Kong experienced a transformation from an th industrial to a specialized services and high-tech economy in the late 20 century (Ho, 1992; Lo, 1997; 2005). Accompanying this shift, there has been a notable drive for urban redevelopment that has fundamentally altered the physical and social characteristics of Hong Kong’s neighborhoods. Despite the economic and built environment transformations in Hong Kong, not much attention has been given to neighborhood displacement of the poor, including women. With a focus on gentrification, I examine the various types of physical and social upgrading processes in Hong Kong from 1986 to 2006 and explore how women were involved in or affected by these redevelopment processes. This research answers the following four major questions: 1) How extensive have gentrification processes been within Hong Kong between the years 1986 and 2006? 2) What is the degree of displacement that has resulted from gentrification in Hong Kong during these years? 3) Have redevelopment efforts in Hong Kong resulted in a diversity of gentrification processes and what are some of their basic characteristics? 4) What is the role of women in Hong Kong’s gentrification? Principal component analysis and K-means clustering are used to identify areas within Hong Kong that are experiencing physical and social upgrading.

Here you’ll discover a lively mix of old, new and up-and-coming, where local institutions such as SHUN FAT ROAST MEATSp50 naturally coexist alongside newcomers like neighbourhood craft beer bar ALVY’Sp32, and where gleaming high-rises tower over historic tong lau. Encounter traditional culture at the all-but-hidden LO PAN TEMPLEp18 and discover VOL 1 KENNEDY TOWN cutting-edge new design works from the local MAKERHIVEp52 . Or simply grab a front-row seat on the Praya to the nightly spectacle that plays out as the sun descends behind the layered silhouettes of Hong Kong’s outlying islands, casting long pastel strokes across the sky. Welcome to the neighbourhood Foreword As professional property investors we are trained to think in terms of rates of return, yields, value and risk. Only recently has sustainability factored into the equation, and the field of measuring sustainability in its many forms remains nascent. This inaugural issue of The Neighbourhood is the culmination of more than two years of engagement with and research into Hong Kong’s neighbourhoods. We focus on Kennedy Town and present a complementary, though sometimes contrasting, range of views, context and insight into the community and the issues facing it. Grosvenor has been active in Asia for more than 20 years, and we are devoting more time to understanding the concept of neighbourhoods.
