One new departure in the Hong Kong
Government's approach to resettlement of
squatters is that, for the first time, they are
proposing to resettle some squatters from land
not required for development.
Until now, it
has only been in respect of areas required for
development that Clearance and resettlement of
squatters has been made. Although only 30,000
such squatters will be rehoused in the next
five years, it is a start.
