123 Milestone to trigger the reform of an aged district As a congested and aged district located in the busiest downtown of the Kowloon, besides a significant amount of scattered commercial development, Mong Kok also accommodated large amount of low-income inhabitants living in the averaged 30 years of age and poorly maintained residential buildings. Many of these buildings are of mixed used, with shops, snack bars, restaurants, cyber game centres, or even low-class dancing clubs at the lower floor, and usual residential flats on the upper. Due to the existing statutory constraint and the complicated ownership situation, the government can do nothing effectively to improve the urban environment in the district.
124 Having the clearance of 1.2 hectare of land full of aged and shabby buildings, and replacing it with a newly designed modern functional centre of commercial nature, the social system of Mong Kok has undergone an interesting transform. The new development, shows the following significance. 1. With the adding in of a huge outlet point with large number of new attractions in the already very busy district Mong Kok, Langham Place becomes a new focus and gathering place for the neighbourhood. 2. With the relocation of the previous public light bus terminuses which stationed on the road sides into the public transportation centre in Site B, the surrounding streets are much more in order both for pedestrian and traffic.
125 3. With the reform and upgrading of the overall urban environment in the area, the property value of the nearby buildings has increased drastically. This will naturally erase the existence of low-value commercial activities and attract investors and business operators who are able to afford the high property price or rent. 4. Inside the office tower and retail mall of Langham Place it housed large number of high-class retail shops, restaurant, snack bars and the alike. This further enhance the situation serving as a visitor centre that provide good motivation for the nearby buildings in weaker condition to reinstate or redevelop themselves. 5. The positive prospect of this development set a sample case for similar urban renewal projects which scattered in other aged districts around the metro area of HK.
126 Conclusive Remark Beside the input of large amount of investment and the significant use of effective means to manage and carry out the construction of the Langham Place, the project also processes strong urban and social meaning that set a good precedence for similar projects. In Hong Kong, some other districts like Tsuen Wan, Kwun Tong, Causeway Bay, Wanchai and Kennedy Town, situations are very similar. And of course, the development process including the arrival of an agreed procurement scheme and the land requisition negotiation, will be very lengthy and generate countless conflicts between different interests. We are waiting to see what come next.
