BBQ Skewers | 真好味 @ 再見裕民坊

Life goes on, or so they are trying, at the outer boundaries of the redevelopment area. Many of these tenants are now in negotiation with the government for compensations.

The previous time I was here for shooting, it was back in November 2011. Decided to come back on this day before this downtown district further moves forward.

 

 

One of the first New towns in Hong Kong, Kwun Tong was, and remains, a major light industrial area. Its population has been growing rapidly, and the demand for housing, medical and educational facilities and services has been increasing.

 

 

In view of this, a number of community development projects, such as the redevelopment of old housing estates and the construction of major parks, have been implemented in recent years.

 

 

The other side of this progress in transition is the diminishing of history, soon most of these old concrete industrial buildings will be bygone. With this in mind, I've decided to once again visit this district to carry on with the documentation of what is going to be history in the coming days.
