Dear 4S
Sorry for posting this message late!
To round up our news assignment on the government’s urban renewal plan, please prepare responses to the following questions for class discussion on Tuesday. And, as most of you are not ready to write about this topic to the government, I’ve put off the idea! We’ll do discussion and oral defence in class instead.
Don’t forget to do Reading Unit 3 for class on Monday!

Review of the Urban Renewal Strategy
- What community benefits should urban renewal bring about? Which factors should be considered in considering a sustainable urban renewal strategy?
- Currently, redevelopment plays a significant part in the holistic approach to urban renewal, with lesser emphasis on rehabilitation, preservation and revitalization. Should the weightings among these works be reviewed? And in what aspects?
- Should the project selection process be reviewed? Should it be decided by the majority view of the community? What areas should we study to address the minority views?
- Urban Renewal Authority (URA) is required to achieve self-financing in the long run. Does the current self-financing model of urban renewal need to be reviewed?
- Should the role of the URA be reviewed? What roles should the private sector and the Government play in urban renewal?
- Should the current compensation methods for redevelopment and preservation be reviewed? What are the key elements of fair compensation methods?
- Other comments you may have.
