Abstract
Sham Shui Po district in the city of Hong Kong is envisioned in the future to be more than just a crowded shopping area with small claustrophobic apartments. The decayed typology with its dense population should be part of a broader urban scale, that focuses on the quality of public space, determined for the human scale, the pedestrian. We will be looking at how crowded streets of this dynamic, but very grey neighbourhood can be transformed into a much greener and more pleasant environment, both for the visitor and its local population.
