    Gentrifying the harbourfront

    HK$12b transformation of Hong Kong’s Central waterfront: what’s about to happen | South China Morning Post



    Do you trust the Government to create a vibrant world class harbour front in Central?

    Or was the paddling pool idea in Admiralty just a clear indication they are clueless and desperate for ideas...

    As long as the paddling pool has an LV store close by we'll be fine.

    Do you trust HK Gov
    Almost any question that begins with that .... I'd have to ask, trust who in the government?

    Just sounds like another payday for the developers and very much a "Let them eat cake" thing.

    And you wonder why people don't trust the government in this city.

    There will be upmarket office space in the form of four low-rise grade-A office buildings to go up where the General Post Office stands (the new GPO will be in Kowloon) and along the walkway to the Star Ferry. An office block and a large hotel are also planned for the reclaimed area in front of Citic Tower in Admiralty. In total, 200 000 square metres of floor area will be created, according to Secretary for Development Paul Chan Mo-po.

    No doubt, it will be a totally soulless f**k up.
