Urban renewal and displacement in Hong Kong

Auteur(s) et Affiliation(s)



Description :
The paper argues that urban renewal partially mitigates negative residential displacement outcomes. Theoretical underpinnings, rationale, and research methodology used to study the cause and effect of urban redevelopment are presented. Evidence from empirical characterization and correlation analysis by district supports production and class variables as determinants of redevelopment. Local influences of cause and outcomes of redevelopment are rapid economic growth, mass public housing provisions, and low unemployment differentials between various locations in the Territory.
