Resource Identification

Interpretation on SDU residents’ voice We were given three SDU resident’s interview scripts to work on. The interview data was split into quantitative and qualitative parts. The quantitative part was illustrated as info graphic to present residents’ basic information, living condition, financial statue and relationship with neighbours; the qualitative part was to interpret the message behind the dialogue. What surprised me was SDU residents generally know to adopt their intelligence to resolve living circumstances, such as an interviewee has a habit to go to the adjacent park every day to release stress.

Resource Identification

Resource Distribution in Sham Shui Po District The entire Sham Shui Po district is including the area of Cheung Sha Wan and Lai Chi Kok. Because of the different development periods and master planning from the government back to British governance, Lai Chi Kok is filled with industrial buildings and Cheung Sha Wan is planned to have more residential estates and public space. The central Sham Shui Po, thanks to the restricted building height development for airplane landing purpose during 70s - 90s, Tong Lau remains mostly as it is. This also bring along a diversity of street stores and anchor stalls, mixed with later developed shopping centres.

Resource Identification

Resource Distribution in Central Sham Shui Po Thanks to height restriction by the Kai Tak Airport at 70-80s, Sham Shui Po has preserved a relatively complete footprint of Tong Lau. The ecology of ground floor retail operates according to Tong Lau until now. The dynamic, unlike planned development by government, is rather organic and changes along the society circumstances. It is engaging to observe that same type of industry is attached at same areas for economic of scale. Surprisingly, the vacant stores under COVID 19 is rarely to be found, which provided the need of local economy and the functionality of streetscape. The diversity of economic resource has potential to be linked more closely to local resident.

Gamification

Why games? Public participation is often regarded as an openended activity with bottom-up interactions for the “top” planners and architects to listen and learn about users’ perspectives. However, consensus difficult to be drawn as the importance of different users’ comments are weighted by the planners. There is a lack of bottom-bottom interaction and lack of back and forth reactions.

Moreover, in the new era of information age, it is known that shared decision making, cooperative relationships and networking are becoming more important. People prefer multi-tasking rather than linear steps, prefer trial and error instead of being given a direction. Planners should treat people as creators and doers. (Akilli, 2014)

Therefore, we are now in a “Game Generation” where participation with enjoyment is needed to encourage engagement. (Akilli, 2014)

Co-creation Gamifying is a process of turning real life matters into a game like setting. It is creating a model of knowledge exchange through simplifying the complex forms of information and ideas. The process facilitates the conceptualization of reality and explains the mechanism of different real-life elements with enjoyable experience. (Gustafoson, 1997)

Co-creation workshop gathers the thinking among a diversity of stakeholders, aiming to co-create their future ideal city through brainstorming, discussing and analysing. All stakeholders are asked to visualise the problem in Sham Shui Po and their imagination of how it can be.

Thesis Design

Step 1: Hunting usable economic resource The theory is based on the ‘‘ Asset-based community development’’ by John L. McKnight and John P. Kretzmann. Instead of identifying the problems in old town, the theory suggests to identify the potential resources that can be adopted in the community. Through the ground floor mapping in Sham Shui Po, I realised the economic resources are diversified. Due to the outbreak of COVID19 and transformation of industry, there are more vacant stores in shopping malls. By linking and merging types of resources such as hawker stalls, upstair stores, I see those resources as the potential of fostering local economy.

The industrial development was booming, private buildings have been completed one after another. Malls under the residential towers were the heart of clothes trading.

Hawker Stall

1960s

Shopping Centre

Hong Kong’s industry began to transform, and electronic parts factories began to increase. When some products of poor quality were manufactured, the factories would sell them to Apliu Street.

1970s

Industrial Transformation Golden Shopping Centre, because of the success of Apliu street hawker stores, began to sell computers and inﬂected other nearby mall to transform to computing industries.

Upstair Store

Hong Kong rent price rised remarkably. People couldn’t afford the ground retail store rent moved upstairs in return of larger area and lower rent.

Step 2: Placing Plugin 15 as the start of empowerment Developers are required to dedicate approx 30% floor area, such as a vacant cinema space, to place Plugin 15. It ‘’re-intrepretes’’ shopping mall as ‘’city-anchor’’. Anchor store is no longer the privilege of chain stores, but a place of collectives of people’s voices. By binding commercial, political and public space, one of the key functions is acting a civic square for district council to determine the function of each part of other plugins. The radiated area around the plugin becomes the public plaza for citizen to access.

Step 3: Listening to the needs of the residents Typical urban renewal strategy only focuses on the number of flats people needed or how much builtable potential they can achieve. However, the top-down thinking limits the potential of channeling existing resource to satisfy those needs and the flexibility to adjust according to changing needs in the society. By providing a platform to hear people’s voice, the nature of part in each plugin can adjust in the proportion between public, commerical and recreational space.
