Details	:	The Urban Renewal Authority (URA) commenced a holistic District Study for Yau Ma Tei and Mong Kok (the Study) in 2017 with the aim to devise a district-based urban renewal plan for the study area, and to explore new planning mechanisms to facilitate implementation. The Study covers the Yau Ma Tei and Mong Kok districts with an area of about 212 hectares, comprising more than 3,300 buildings. The findings of the Study published in 2021 suggested that the existing urban renewal model in high density districts with serious urban decay is not sustainable nor financially viable. New planning tools have been introduced in the Study, notable ones being transfer of plot ratio (TPR) and street consolidation area (SCA), to encourage private sector participation in order to step up the urban renewal momentum. The Study has made a tremendous stride in planning for urban renewal in Hong Kong. The recommended mechanisms and strategy are not privy to Yau Mong but are equally applicable to other old areas in Hong Kong. In the event, representative from URA will share more insights of the findings in the Study.
