ABOUT PLANNING DEPARTMENT
Apart from the above, the URA has formulated a proposal for revitalisation,
instead of redevelopment, of the building clusters under the Staunton Street/Wing
Lee Street project. The URA-owned properties therein will be renovated for co-
living space, co-working space, social enterprise and shop and services etc., and
a Community Hub with public open space will be built at the existing vacant land
within the project area. The related statutory planning procedures were completed
in November 2020 to facilitate the implementation of the revitalisation proposal.

Planning studies play a vital role in the formulation of development strategies
and planning standards and the preparation of town plans. They serve primarily
as a means to investigate, analyse or address planning issues, formulate planning
visions, intentions or concepts, and provide a basis for formulating and evaluating
proposals. Appendix 2 shows the major consultancy studies undertaken by the
Department in 2020.
