Stage 1 of this Public Engagement Programme has been accomplished in February 2007. It mainly involved collecting views from relevant stakeholders and the public through site visit, brainstorming session, questionnaire survey and district council visits as to their perception of Hung Hom district and visions on how to enhance the area. These views will serve as inputs for the Hung Hom District Study in formulating a District Plan for the area of which the study is to be undertaken by Urbis Ltd. and Ove Arup & Partners Hong Kong Ltd. (HHDS consultant thereafter). Upon formulation of a draft District Plan, Stage 2 of the Programme will be conducted to present the draft District Plan to the public for comment with a view to further refining the proposals.

Page 1 Public Engagement Programme for the Hung Hom District Study – Stage 1 PEP Final Working Paper 2 Summary of Site Visit and Brainstorming Session 2.1 Brief Summary of Site Visit and Brainstorming Session Site Visit and Brainstorming Session of Stage 1 of Public Engagement Programme for the Hung Hom District Study were held on 3 February 2007. 191 invitations were sent out to various stakeholders. The total number of participants for the site visit and brainstorming session was respectively 35 and 61. These stakeholders included representatives from - Kowloon City District Council and Yau Tsim Mong District Council; - Government Bureaux / Departments; - Public Utility Companies; - Green Groups; - Harbour Concern Groups; - NGOs; - Hung Hom District Residents; - Property Management Companies; - Property Developers; - Relevant Enterprises / Business Organizations; - Academics and - Media. (Please refer to Appendix A for the details of participants) The programme started with a site familiarisation tour. Since there were different characteristics and issues pertinent to various parts of the study area, it was, for the purpose of the site visit, divided into three sub-districts. (Please refer to Appendix B for the details of sub-districts). Participants got to choose to visit one of the three sub-districts. The guided site visit aimed to let the participants have direct and “hands-on” connection to the area. Site visit handout was distributed to outline key issues and core elements of the study area to facilitate discussion. The existing strengths, weakness, opportunities and threats were discussed. (Please refer to Appendix B for the details of Site Visit Handout) After the tour, the participants proceeded to the brainstorming session venue and were divided into five groups with other participants. After an opening remark given by the Chairman of the HEC Sub- committee, a presentation on the baseline review of the study area given by the HHDS consultant, and a briefing on brainstorming session given by the PEP consultant, representatives of each site visit group were invited to share their initial findings and comments. In the small group discussion session, handout was distributed to facilitate in-depth discussion to further develop stakeholders’ vision for the Hung Hom harbour-front and formulate their planning and sustainability principles. (Please refer to Appendix C for the details of Brainstorming Session Handout) Representatives of each group then presented their discussion results, with the aid of drawings, notes and sketch maps. The event was concluded with a brief summary by the PEP consultant and closing remarks by the Chairman of Yau Tsim Mong District Council and a Member of Hung Hom District Council.

Page 3 Public Engagement Programme for the Hung Hom District Study – Stage 1 PEP Final Working Paper 2.2 Issues/Concerns Discussed and Suggestions Based on the inception report prepared by the HHDS consultant, a comprehensive list of baseline conditions and issues were highlighted to facilitate the discussion during the site visit and brainstorming session. These include: - Overall Visions for the Waterfront; - Roles of the Study Area; - Development Opportunities; - Separated Sub-districts; - Design for Pedestrian Movement; - Urban Design; and - Development Density and Height Restriction. Most of these issues discussed reflect the participants’ concerns and aspirations of the area. Their comments and suggestions were analysed and grouped under six general categories: - Connectivity; - Development Density; - Land Use Planning; - Provision of Facilities; - Harbour-front Enhancement; and - Other Issues. Details of the issues and suggestions of each category are presented below. 2.2.1 Connectivity 2.2.1.1 Accessibility from hinterland to the existing harbour-front Issues/Concerns - Hung Hom harbour-front is segregated from the rest of Hung Hom and Tsim Sha Tsui East by highway structures and is poorly accessible. - The harbour-front seems isolated from the adjoining area in terms of pedestrian access. Suggestions - Comprehensive planning to integrate Hung Hom harbour-front to the adjoining areas is needed – from various parts of Hung Hom hinterland / Tsim Sha Tsui East to the waterfront. - A comprehensive network of footbridges can improve pedestrian connection of the harbourfront with the hinterland/developed area and between different developments within the Study Area. However, to encourage more pedestrians to use footbridges, good quality design of the footbridges should be adopted. - Some participants proposed to improve at-grade pedestrian facilities to enhance accessibility. - Provision of MTR services in Hung Hom by extending the Kwun Tong Line to enhance connectivity with other districts and to address road traffic and associated air and noise pollution problems. - To resume private street of Hung Hom North (the existing industrial area) so that public transport such as minibus can gain access into and serve the area. - In particular, areas proposed for connectivity improvement include: C A R E Centre of Architectural Research for Education, Elderly, Environment and Excellence Ltd.

    Hung Hom District Study Final Report 73

    Hung Hom District Study Final Report 10 SUSTAINABILITY CONSIDERATIONS AND ASSESSMENT 10.1 Background As part of the process of studying and reviewing the districts surrounding Victoria Harbour, the Hung Hom District has been reviewed. The purpose of this review is to formulate a comprehensive outline development plan for the harbour- front area. In particular, it reviews the land use planning framework of the area and aims to enhance physical linkages and integration with the surroundings. The review process includes consideration of the sustainability aspects and features of the existing land use and its performance when viewed from a sustainability standpoint and identifying opportunities to introduce new features or enhance existing aspects as part of the improvement. The review will effectively be part of a larger review of the whole Harbour, which is being undertaken on a district-by-district basis but with a common purpose and goals. As required by the Study Brief, the Sustainability Assessment has been undertaken with reference to CASET indicators. A separate Air Ventilation Assessment has been undertaken under a separate consultancy. This has concluded that air circulation will not be negatively affected by the development proposals described in this report. Its findings are therefore not repeated in this section. 10.2 Existing Situation and Need for Improvement As has already been discussed in this report, the Victoria Harbour waterfront areas have been judged by many people to be generally deficient particularly when compared with other world famous harbour-front areas around the world. In addition, it is recognised that there is a high (and growing) level of public aspiration for a better quality and more user- friendly environment.

But where should these be located? – Designing Hong Kong Harbour District - Kai Tak – Another Look: A powerpoint explaining the need for moving the cruise terminal elsewhere, the need for smaller land plots, fewer institutional land uses, less land used for roads – and foremost, to use Kai Tak’s long harbour-front to support a diverse range of leisure and commercial marine uses, now absent from the plans. - “Questions and Answers regarding plans for Hong Kong’ new cruise terminals”, (a powerpoint and a report) by Andrew O. Coggins, a cruise industry specialist. He supports the need for cruise facilities, but not in Kai Tak. Herewith we so submit for your consideration, Yours sincerely, Paul Zimmerman Convenor, Designing Hong Kong Harbour District Principal, The Experience Group, Limited Attachment 1 if you cannot read this message, please click here To make the best use of Hong Kong's harbour, we not only need to upgrade facilities for cruise liners but for many other marine uses. From shelter to moorings, berthing, storage, repairs, ship shops, club houses, passenger handling and loading/unloading, we need facilities for tug boats, harbour cruises, fishing boats, China cruises, yachts, ferries, dragon boats, rowing, refuse transfer, sailing boats, water taxis, sea planes, and so forth.
