As part of a comprehensive redevelopment
programme to renew the urban environment,
over 58,000 old public housing flats will be
demolished, and about 55,000 new flats will
be constructed between 1990 and 2001 in the
Kwun Tong area, partly to provide replacement
accommodation and partly to provide new housing
for those in need.
Planned environmental
health improvements include the closure of a
local refuse dump, restrictions on the sulphur
content of industrial fuel oil, and the
introduction of vehicle emission controls.
