STRATEGIES

The general target is to promote informal public urban spaces with that nuance of the Commercial Chinatown condition before 1980s when the government took over the area and named it Chinatown. Organicity, informality and culture continuity are three main specific points of our regeneration plan. We are transforming the area into a 24-hour lively cultural neighbourhood by imposing certain programs to the unoptimized shophouses.

 

In terms of space, kiosks are to be redesigned into transformable public objects that cater the activities of both day and night. And back alleys will be activated as an extension of spaces such as bars at night. In terms of function, the balance between inclusive and exclusive functions and the marking and inherence of local culture will also be highlighted in the plan.
