The Colony's programme for re-settling squatter communities went steadily ahead in 1957 and by the end of the year some 137,000 people had been re-housed in the 7-storey H-block buildings which are now so familiar a part of the Kowloon landscape. Work was started in July on the 29-acre Wong Tai Sin estate, of which a model is shown above; when completed it will house more than 60,000 people. Both the model and the photograph below (of new blocks at the Shek Kip Mei estate) illustrate clearly how, despite land scarcity, wide streets and open spaces are provided in the resettlement estates.
