Redevelopment of aged public rental housing estates : policy and implementation

Redevelopment of aged PRH estates has been carried out for more than 40 years in Hong Kong by the Hong Kong Housing Authority. After the completion of the Comprehensive Redevelopment Programme, the HA announced the Refined Policy on Redevelopment of Aged Public Rental Housing Estates in 2011 to continue its work on redevelopment. The Refined Policy on Redevelopment of Aged Public Rental Housing Estates shows the determination of the Hong Kong Housing Authority to improve its redevelopment policy as it has been pushed forward right after the completion of the previous programme. However, it has been criticized by tenants, public, District Councillors and Legislative Councillors for its inefficiency and ineffectiveness. In this dissertation, the deficiencies of the Refined Policy on Redevelopment of Aged Public Rental Housing Estates and the Pak Tin Estate Redevelopment Project, and successful elements of the Comprehensive Redevelopment Programme and the Lower Ngau Tau Kok Estate Redevelopment Project are assessed and examined. These assessment help to understand that problems of the current policy and project are caused by the setting and the implementation strategy of the Refined Policy on Redevelopment of Aged Public Rental Housing Estates. Recommendations have been proposed to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the Refined Policy on Redevelopment of Aged Public Rental Housing Estates and develop it into a systematic and people-oriented redevelopment policy. / published_or_final_version / Urban Planning and Design / Master / Master of Science in Urban Planning
