Free Site Tour to the Staunton Street / Wing Lee Street Heritage Preservation and Revitalisation

Overview 

The Urban Renewal Authority (URA) piloted a new holistic urban renewal model in Staunton Street / Wing Lee Street (H19), in response to public aspirations for the preservation of buildings within the site, and the Chief Executive’s 2018 Policy Agenda tasking the URA to “…carry out further study with a view to revitalising the building clusters with special character and urban fabric under the whole Staunton Street/Wing Lee Street Project (H19) so as to promote place making and synergise with nearby revitalisation project”. 

Since January 2019, the URA has adopted a “community making” approach in H19 and its vicinity, and incorporated an integrated “4Rs” strategy to realise urban renewal within the neighbourhood.

Taken into consideration local views and aspirations in the Community Making Study, the revitalisation works of the URA’s acquired buildings in H19 were completed in February 2023. The domestic units in the revitalised buildings will be put to adaptive reuse as co-living spaces with common rooms and community farms under the management of the co-living operator(s) appointed. Concurrently, the URA has formed partnerships with buildings in the neighbourhood to promote and encourage rehabilitation works to improve the built environment.

Join us at the site tour to explorer and understand the preservation strategy and measure of Wing Lee Street, and feel the historical heritage street of Hong Kong.
