HOMES FOR ANOTHER 37,000 AT KWAI SHING
**
The second and third stages of the Kwai Shing Low Cost Housing Estate
in Kwai Chung will involve the construction of 10 multi-storey blocks housing
some 37,000 people.
The domestic units will be built to the scale of 35 square feet per
adult, each with its individual kitchen and toilet facilities.
The estate will have its own commercial centre, complete with department
stores, a separate two-storey restaurant building, modular market and cooked
food stalls, accommodation for welfare agencies and group activities, recreational
spaces and bus and public light bus terminals.
Due to the nature of the site, the estate is planned on three different
levels. The commercial centre, situated in mid-level, is connected to the other
levels by high capacity lifts.
With the implementation of the new post-primary education policy, two
secondary school sites have been provided in the second and third stages. This,
together with three estate schools and the four schools in Stage One, will provide
for the educational needs of the residents.
Covered car parking spaces will be provided at the ratio of one space to
10 families on a chargeable basis.
Stage One of the Kwai Shing estate is due for completion at the end of
this year, and work on the other stages is expected to begin in 1973. The estimated
cost of the second and third stages is $82 million.
