SUSTAINABILITY ASSESSMENT MODEL FOR URBAN RENEWAL PROJECTS IN HONG KONG
Statistical data from the Hong Kong Government indicates that the problem of local building deterioration is becoming worse. Over the years, the Government has implemented different urban renewal programmes to improve the built environment. Those measures partially enhance the physical conditions of the urban areas but at the same time they generate other adverse impacts on local communities. In order to ensure that urban renewal projects can address various urban problems simultaneously, researchers and the Government have stipulated a sustainable urban renewal approach that is to integrate sustainability concepts into urban renewal process. This study aims to review the history of urban redevelopment in Hong Kong, highlight the problems associated with current renewal practices, suggest a conceptual framework for an assessment model to be used to increase the sustainability level of local urban renewal projects, and propose possible methodologies for deriving that model.
