Energizing Kowloon East Office wishes to explore with an aim to understand the nature and extent of interests as well as the underlying concept of organizations that may be interested in operating creativity, arts and culture facilities under Kwun Tong Bypass along Hoi Bun Road. 3 2 OVERVIEW OF SITES UNDER KWUN TONG BYPASS 2.1 Creativity, arts and culture facilities under Kwun Tong Bypass is an initiative to identify suitable spaces for artists, art groups and creative designers to operate in Kowloon East. The Project will adopt a partnership approach between Energizing Kowloon East Office and the operator. With the partnership approach, we intend to continue the present management style of Site 1 in providing a pleasant public space for public enjoyment. 2.2 The project aims to utilize unused spaces under the Kwun Tong Bypass and construct suitable facilities for creativity, arts and cultural use and to engage a non-profit making organization1 to manage, operate and maintain creativity, arts and cultural facilities for the public to enjoy. 2.3 The project includes three sites under the Kwun Tong Bypass with a total area of approximately 8,500m2 to be used as informal venues for creativity, arts and cultural activities. To support the activities, one of the sites, Site 1, has already been transformed into an Informal Performance Venue and opened to the public since January 2013. It is now under the management of Energizing Kowloon East Office. The other two sites are vacant government land and they will provide additional spaces for creativity, arts and cultural use. It is aimed that the new sites will carefully inject fresh elements within the fabric of Kwun Tong, adding new functions and synergy to the unique character of Kwun Tong waterfront. Informal performance venue at Site 1 under Kwun Tong Bypass 1 Non-profit making organizations with charitable status under Section 88 of the Inland Revenue Ordinance (CAP. 112) 4 2.4 A possible combination of the uses for the three sites are Informal Performance Venue (Site 1), Creative Hub (Site 2) and Multi-functional Space (Site 3) respectively2. The architectural design and building work will be undertaken by Government based on the selected operator’s design proposal with design and construction cost at approximately HK$20 million. 2.5 The Operator can commence operating Site 1 once selected around Q3 2014. Design and build works for Sites 2 and 3 will commence in parallel and target for completion around early 2016. It is anticipated that the tenancy agreement for operation of the facilities at the three sites would be for an initial period of 5 years with an option to be renewed for further period subject to agreement. Unique space under the flyover at Site 2 and 3 2 Applicants may come up with other suggestions on the possible use related to creativity, arts and culture. 5 3 LOCATION 3.1 The vacant sites under Kwun Tong Bypass are located in Kwun Tong adjacent to the Kwun Tong Promenade and along Hoi Bun Road. Kwun Tong Promenade Phase 1 has been opened to the public since 2010, Phase 2 is under construction and will be completed at the end of 2014, altogether providing a 1km long waterfront park. The three sites are within 10 minutes on foot from Ngau Tau Kok Mass Transit Railway Station. 3.2 Kwun Tong, an area well known for its productive manufacturing centers and factories, accounted for one-fifth of Hong Kong’s total sales and work done in manufacturing industry in the hey days. Tens of thousands of workers have made a living in the factories of Kwun Tong and Kowloon Bay, reflecting Hong Kong’s “can do” spirit. Many of the industrial buildings built in the 1960s and 1970s have unique architectural interest and are still being actively used. In recent years, some of these premises have helped nurture Hong Kong’s creativity, arts and cultural services and industries and making Kowloon East an ‘incubator’ for artists and creative industries as designer workshops, studios, or rehearsal rooms. An earlier survey undertaken by the Hong Kong Art Development Council indicated that Kwun Tong and Ngau Tau Kok are popular places for the art creation activities3. Another survey4 undertaken by the Planning Department revealed that in KE over 500 establishments are operating as ‘cultural and creative workshop’ such as art/ music/ film studios. Kwun Tong Promenade 3 Survey on the Current Status of Industrials for Arts Activities and Future Demand (2010 Dec) undertaken by Hon g Kong Arts Development Council. The survey found that art creation activities are mainly located in Fo Tan (20.5%), Kwun Tong (19.6%), and Ngau Tau Kok (12.7%) and San Po Kong (10.6%). Visual arts (37.8%) and music (37.3%) are the major types of arts and cultural activities. 4 The Survey on Business Establishments in Kowloon East (KE) (2011 May). 6 4 SITE PLAN Site 1 : Performance Venue | Site 2 : Creative Hub | Site 3 : Multi-purpose functional space (a possible combination of creativity, arts and cultural uses, subject to Applicant’s proposal) EKEO : Energizing Kowloon East Office 7 5 VISION AND MISSION 5.1 In line with Government’s commitment to find opportunities to provide suitable spaces for artists, art groups and creative designers in Kowloon East, Energizing Kowloon East Office aims to utilize the unused spaces under the Kwun Tong Bypass for creativity, arts and cultural use and turn them into contemporary cultural hub in Kwun Tong for all to enjoy and contributing to enriching the lives of Hong Kong people.

    Serial No.: N86 Historic Building Appraisal Old Quarry Site Structures Lei Yue Mun, Kwun Tong, Kowloon Hong Kong has been well favoured with its building stones. The high quality, Historical fine-grained granite was commonly used in construction by the time the island of Interest Hong Kong was taken over by the British in 1841. This situation continued after the British arrival, with quarries stretching along the northern coastline of the Island, ranging from Shek Tong Tsui (䞛⠀␨) in the western part to Quarry Bay (殪欂㴴) and A Kung Ngan (旧℔ⱑ) in the east. There were many new colonial buildings and structures which, at this date, were rich in local granite. Surviving examples include Flagstaff House and St John’s Cathedral. The general topography of the villages of Lei Yue Mun (歱欂攨), Ngau Tau Kok (䈃柕奺), Sai Cho Wan (勄勱䀋) and Cha Kwo Ling (勞㝄ⵢ) in Kowloon was quite hilly, offering little arable land for crop growing, but they were rich in granite. They were well known for the production of stones, and thus got the name of ‘Si Shan’ (⚃Ⱉ, ‘Four Hills’). The Qing government appointed a ‘Tau Yan’ (柕Ṣ) (headman) in each of the ‘Four Hills’ to manage the quarries. There was a ‘Sze Shan Kung So’ (⚃Ⱉ℔㇨, Communal Hall of Four Hills) to discuss matters relating to stone business. The famous Canton Cathedral (⺋ⶆ䞛⭌) was built with granite cut in the “Four Hills”. The British takeover of Kowloon and the New Territories led to a greater demand of stone for construction. At the time, the more prominent stone-cutting stores in Lei Yue Mun included Tung Li Tong (⎴⇑➪) owned by Ip Wa-shing (叱厗⊅) (1844-1914), Tung Tai Tong (⎴㲘➪) owned by Tsang Lam-on (㚦㜿 ⬱) and Tung Fuk Tong (⎴䤷➪) owned by Ip Fuk (叱䤷).

    Perception of High-density Living in Hong Kong by LAWRENCE H. TRAVERS, assistant professor, State University of New York, College of Arts and Science, Oswego, N. Y. ABSTRACT.-Analysis of the Hong Kong experience of adaptation to urban living can provide insights into some of the problems that can be expected to occur in the rapidly expanding cities of the Third World. Population densities in Hong Kong are among the highest in the world, exceeding 400,000 persons per square mile in parts of Kowloon. Research based upon residence in a worker's dormitory and interviews with workers reveals a variety of adaptive strategies employed by people to cope with the stress of the crowded urban environment. An understanding of the individual's ability to adjust to the stress of high-density living must consider the meaning of density as a concept in the culture in addition to social and cultural norms. DESPITEDECADES OF CONCERN informal conversations with many of the about the possible effects of high residents, and through structured inter- living densities upon human behavior, views with cooperative individuals. we know very little about mankind's ability to adapt to crowded conditions.
