This is a photo record about the Lower Ngau Tau Kok Estate, which was built in the 1960s as a resettlement estate. It is scheduled to be demolished in 2009.
I was the photographer consigned by the Hong Kong Government and these photos were taken between 08/2008 to 4/2009.
Perhaps too old will be the main answer. It maybe controversial but this is Hong Kong.
What I saw from the estate is that the living condition of the apartment was deteriorating and those residents will be relocated to a completely new and better conditioned apartment in the same district. I think it is doing good to them. However, Those private little shop ran on family basis will disappear completely............ they won't be relocated and this is the sad side of this story.
