We were commissioned to ascertain potential under-used and vacant GIC sites and industrial buildings to accommodate small households to address the acute demand for affordable housing in urban areas. Areas examined included Tsuen Wan, Cheung Sha Wan, Tai Kok Tsui, Mong Kok, Yau Ma Tei and Ma Tau Kok. It was concluded that some of the sites could be used as alternative decanting sites for temporarily accommodating some of the existing users if required. A new composite building could accommodate various GIC employees, for instance, indoor cooked food facilities, in the lower floors with the small household accommodation on the upper floors. A feasibility study was also conducted to ascertain potential industrial buildings in Cheung Sha Wan and Kwun Tong that could be revitalised for small household accommodation.

我們受委託研究潛在的未充分利用或空置「政府、機構、社區設施」用地和工業建築，以容納小家庭，並解決城市地區對經濟適用房的迫切需求。 研究範圍包括荃灣、長沙灣、大角咀、旺角、油麻地及馬頭角。 得出的結論是，如有需要，一些研究區域可以用作臨時容納某些現有用家。 一座新的綜合大樓可以容納不同的「政府、機構、社區設施」員工，例如，較低樓層的室內熟食設施和較高樓層的小型家庭住宿。 我們亦進行了可行性研究來確定那些位於長沙灣和觀塘的潛在工業樓宇可活化為小型住戶。
