Urban Renewal and Heritage Preservation

On urban renewal and heritage preservation, the Board considered two
development scheme plans (DSPs) in Hung Hom and proposals regarding two
historic buildings, namely the Central Market and the Carrick at Coombe Road.
Based on the recommendations of the Kowloon City District Urban Renewal Forum
Study, the URA had initiated a number of renewal projects in Hung Hom/To Kwa
Wan area through holistic master planning including two DSPs.
