Urban Redevelopment : Compulsory Purchase in Hong Kong

Edward Au

The problem of urban decay and redevelopment is one of the hot topics which prompt much discussion in the public over the last decades. Good maintenance planning and proper upkeep of the building stock would be a way to arrest building deterioration in the territories. For buildings which are determined to be physical obsolescence, demolition for redevelopment in generating new urban fabric may be a good way for tackling the problem.
