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.
