New Homes for Old Boats
For hundreds of years Staunton Creek, near Aberdeen, on the south side of Hong Kong Island, has been a haven for thousands of boat dwellers who have lived in the ancient hulks of their beached craft. Now progress has touched this congested area. The creek is being filled in and the boat dwellers are going ashore—to be re-housed in modern multi-storey resettlement flats, nearby. An ambitious government scheme will turn the area into a town with an eventual population of 200,000. Aberdeen will retain its fishing fleet and tourists will still be able to visit the floating restaura
the creek will be levelled into land for light industry.
