Tung Chau Street Park in Sham Shui Po has seen the area’s evolution from a hub of handicrafts to a center of modern boutiques, reflecting cultural transformation. Recently, poor management has led to dilapidated facilities, a chaotic environment, and social issues like homelessness. The Government is now studying how to balance preservation with development.
The park’s redesign aims to inject new life by integrating the space under the bridge with the park’s redevelopment. This will create an attractive destination for all citizens, promoting a unique arts and crafts cultural ambiance. The goal is to transform the park into a popular, multi-purpose public space for people of all ages, enhancing the well-being of residents and visitors and symbolizing the community’s transformation.
深水埗通州街公園見證了這個地區的興衰。上個世紀，這裡是手工藝的中心，孕育了無數的布藝店和DIY店，是手工藝文化的搖籃。然而，隨著時間的推移，近年來年輕人的湧入帶來了新一輪的專賣店潮流，為這個舊城區註入了新鮮的活力，體現了文化轉型的進程。同時，這個公園本身也受到了城市發展的影響。由於管理不善導致設施破舊、環境混亂，甚至引發無家可歸者的社會問題。面對這些挑戰，政府已對該地區展開深入研究，旨在在保護與發展之間取得平衡。
通過重新設計公園，希望能為這片綠地註入新的生命，結合橋下空間和公園的重建，將其打造成所有市民體驗獨特手工藝文化氛圍的吸引力目的地，變成一個更受歡迎的多功能公共空間，供不同年齡的人使用，為居民和遊客提供福祉，成為社區轉型的縮影。
