Small units set for Ma Tau Wai redevelopment
The Urban Renewal Authority will build 420 flats of less than 500 square feet each to cater for the mass housing market in the Ma Tau Wai Road-Chun Tin Street redevelopment project.
      A district-based approach will be adopted by the government. Consultations with the Kowloon City District Council and the local community, seeking their views on the planned provision of 500 square metres of at-grade public open space and 1,000 square metres of Government/Institution & Community accommodation, will be conducted before the project planning is finalised.
      The project involves a site area of 3,377 square metres, covering 33 private lots in Ma Tai Wai Road, Chun Tin Street and Hok Yuen Street. About 540 households and 35 shops will be affected.
