Housing the Community
  • The role of Government
  • Stabilising society
  • Facilitation
  • Financial support
  • Social need
  • The role of the private sector
  • Responding to market demand
  • Assisting Government with physical provision

    persons representing 30 of Hong Kongs
    population

14
Hong Kong Wind of Change (I)
  • HA supply intended to complement / augment
    private sector but at times of high unaffordable
    prices HA became prime producer and competitor of
    private sector
  • Up to 100,000 units per annum at peak. Sold at
    discount from market value, quality good
  • Collapse of property market. Private sector now
    affordable. Rebellion by private sector
    producers

15
Hong Kong Wind of Change (II)
  • Government now exited subsidised purchase
    provision and focus is to facilitate cost
    effective provision of quality public rental
    housing
  • Also move away from physical provision to
    financial assistance and entrusting private
    sector developers with building units which are
    then allocated to nominated Government buyers /
    tenants. Voucher system rather than physical
    provision under serious consideration

    Central

Brown v/and Green Debate

Allocation of Development Gains
  • Differentiation between capital gain attributable
    to market forces and a direct increase in land
    value attributable to an administrative decision
  • No taxation of capital gain
  • Increases in value arising from planning decision
    or lease modification are shared, but reasonable
    allowance made for developers profit and for the
    before value of the asset
  • Payable at time of decision in full. Focuses the
    mind, but subsequent increases in value accrue
    to the developer only

Historical Background New Towns
  • Shortage of suitable building land in urban
    areas.
  • Challenge of multiple ownership
  • Areas of flat farming land in the New Territories
  • Influx of 2 million refugees from Mainland China
  • October 1972, Governor approved major housing
    programme to provide homes for 1.8 million people
    by mid-1980s

41
Historical Background New Towns (continued)
  • More than half of these were planned to be in New
    Towns
  • Adoption of long term comprehensive land
  • use-transport-environmental framework
  • First generation New Towns Concept of balanced
    development and self containment

42
Lessons Learnt New Towns
  • Importance of early provision of infrastructure,
    schools, etc
  • Need for public housing / Government office
    decentralisation to act as catalyst and anchor
  • Private sector will follow but will not lead

43
Lessons Learnt New Towns (continued)
  • Policy of self containment difficult to achieve
    in practice
  • Attraction/pull of bright lights and higher
    salaries in urban areas
  • High densities defeated green and other
    environmental priorities

History of Urban Renewal Authority (URA)
  • Established May 2001 to set new direction for
    urban renewal in Hong Kong
  • Previous LDC constrained by requirement that each
    scheme should satisfy commercial viability
    criteria
  • Mission is to revitalise run down areas through
    redevelopment, revitalisation and rehabilitation

46
History of URA Contd
  • At same time preserve culture and heritage and
    buildings with historical value
  • Endowed with compulsory purchase powers and
    ability to offer cash compensation and/or
    rehousing
  • arrangements to affected parties
  • Tasked to implement 225 projects in 20 years, and
    43 in first five years

47
Lessons Learnt Urban Renewal
  • Social content renders most schemes commercially
    non-viable
  • Need for acceptance that social element is a cost
    to the community at large
  • Redevelopment should be a matter of last resort
    and focus should be on regeneration and
    revitalisation
  • Social impact and the people factor are key
    issues to be addressed and reality is that soft
    is often more important than hard
