About the Causes
Natural Forces
REAL ESTATES DEVELOPMENT
- Hotels development in Tsuen Wan facilitates the influx of tourists, e.g. Silka Far East, L’Hotel in Nina Tower, Royal View Hotel and the newly renovated Panda Hotel
- Increase in shop rents that leads to the close down or relocation of traditional shops in Tsuen Wan
- Economic restructuring from industrial industries to commercial and service-based industries
- High mobile population flow due to the sound transportation networks in Tsuen Wan
- The Tsuen Wan 5 (TW5) Cityside, Bayside, TW6 and TW7 real estates developments will increase the number of local residents after they build up
LOCAL INTERVENTION
- Extend of the footbridge networks by the Highway Department in 2009 which increases the accessibility for the disabled and linkages to different landmarks in Tsuen Wan
- Urban decay in core Tsuen Wan regions which promotes rehabilitation and urban renewal projects, for example, the Citywalk Phase 1 and 2
- The TW5, TW6 and TW7 developments which will provide more community facilities and public space
- The local community project initiated by the District Council and among consensus with the residents in revitalizing streetscapes such as the Chung On Street Revitalization Scheme
