Our point of view
We all support this project after we have
finished our on-site observation.Refer to
our photos, the living condition there is
very bad due to long history.The buildings
are very old and shabby.Facilities are
lacking,no lift and toilet, as well.
Moreover , we all see that the roads and
streets in these area are narrow and
winding. Traffic congestion is very easy to
occur. Also, the public toilets there are
extremely dirty. The sanitation and
hygiene are very bad. We all think
redevelopment can solve these problems.
Conclusion
There are many old buildings in Yuen Man Fong . The
government will carry out the Kwun Tong Town Centre
Project and will rebuild this area to improve the
environment of the community . However , there are
some residents do not support this project . It is because
they think the project will destroy the local color . Also ,
they don’t want to leave there . But we think that the
project is good for them. The project can improve the
condition of Kwun Tong .It can build up a good and
comfortable condition for them . And after the
redevelopment , they can have more chance to earn
money . So we support the project.
