Kwun Tong Waterfront Fly-over 觀塘海濱天橋

The fly-overs are intriguing objects in the urban landscapes. They are huge, bulky, rigid and yet often curvy. This huge fly-over which is a highway built on water along the Kwun Tong Waterfront serves well to frame the cluster of buildings on the left.

The Hong Kong Skyline, the Cruise Terminal and the Underprivileged 維港、遊輪碼頭與貧困

The hazy Hong Kong Skyline, the underused Cruise Terminal and the Street Sleeper’s home at a Public Pier in this area. In the foreground on the left, several street sleepers put together their home using wooden and paper boxes, thrown away plastic boxes, nylon sheets and whatever materials they could find.

Yue Man Square under Redevelopment! 重建中的裕民坊

I was here two years ago sketching the vacant tenement buildings. Now the district which originally covers several streets has become a huge construction site for a mega residential and commercial development.

兩年前係裕民坊畫空置唐樓，今日再路經裕民坊時，唐樓群已變成大型建築地盤。

Sketching a Bus Terminus in Kwun Tong 巨變將臨裕民坊

The old town centre of Kwun Tong is about to undergo a big change as the buildings surrounding this bus terminus are soon going to be pulled down for a mega development. Many old small shops are already closed for good and apartments are all vacant here except the bus terminus which is still in operation.  Will this area become yet another huge air-conditioned mall?

Personally, I would prefer keeping some old buildings, have them refurbished, adding some new ones, keeping and improving the street life, instead of turning everything into a huge single indoor air-conditioned mall!

觀塘裕民坊重建在即！老店舊舖通通關門！今日特別來畫低還未變成一座巨型冷氣商場的裕民坊。

Vacant Building Waiting to be Demolished in Yue Man Square, Kwun Tong 裕民坊待拆唐樓

Yue Man Square and the surrounding streets have always been the town centre of Kwun Tong until now.  Several streets and many rows of old buildings are now vacant as they are waiting to be demolished to give way to one of the largest urban renewal projects planned by the Hong Kong Urban Renewal Authority.

裕民坊一帶多座唐樓快將清拆重建。舊區快將消失。

在1950年代末及1960年代初，位於當時的觀塘新市鎮心臟地帶的裕民坊已開始發展。而到了現時，林立的商舖更擴展至鄰近的各個街道，包括銀行、金舖、時裝店、超級市場、戲院等，每一條街都有其獨特的色彩。例如物華街過去就以金舖及銀行的集中而著名。此外該處更設有多間食肆，提供各類的中式美食，例如粵菜、潮菜等
