Resettlement in Hong Kong takes many forms. Steep hillsides unsuitable for per- manent development are terraced to permit the orderly erection of huts and cottages. The simple huts above were constructed by the occupants themselves on sites made available by Government which also supplied without charge the four corner-posts and the roof. The more elaborate cottages below were professionally built, for purchase outright or on reasonable hire-purchase terms. They cost between £75 and £150. Many of these cottages are also built by charitable societies and given free to deserving families.
