The Urban Renewal Authority (URA) on Sunday said it is planning to improve living conditions in Sham Shui Po, bringing in "new elements" in keeping with the feel of the area.
On his blog, the URA's managing director, Wai Chi-sing, said a district study is planned covering 130 hectares of Sham Shui Po, including Tai Po Road, Tung Chau Street and Boundary Street.
Wai said the area covers about 1,800 private buildings, with 70 percent of them built more than 50 years ago.
Residents will get a survey asking them about the condition of their flats, including whether they have problems such as cracks in the walls or water leaks.
Wai said more coffee and fashion shops have opened in Sham Shui Po over the past decade, attracting other businesses and new elements to the district.
He said it's hoped the district can be revitalised further, but without ignoring the area's heritage.
