UREC’s exhibition

Came across the Urban Renewal Exploration Centre(UREC 市區更新探知館) website and found out their exhibitions on dilapidated housing alongside the walls full of information about the urban renewal in Hong Kong including problems of urban decay and work of URA in reserve, redevelopment, rehabilitation and revitalisation. The exhibit caught my attention with the presentation of real life experience of dilapidated housing with small cubicles home, the famous caged homes, the less humane cockloft, the toilet and kitchen areas to be shared; giving us a better understanding of the poor living conditions in older districts. I learnt that some exhibits are collected from the authentic premises in the old districts. Everything is surreal. After visiting, I do think it provide some insight and allow visitors to understand urban renewal issues from different perspectives. Most of the children these days are blessed. They’ve never see a lot of things, not even the housing or livings of the poor or less fortunate. Exhibitions like this not only giving them ideas, providing them the opportunity to look closer and imagine the lifestyle; it allows them to understand the importance of reserves, redevelopment, rehabilitation and revitalisation of the urban. It’s free of charge and all tours are by appointment only. Age : Primary and above. Guided tour: Mon – Fri (except public holidays) 10:00 am to 12:00 pm & 3:00 pm to 5:00 pm Audio guided tour: Mon – Fri (except public holidays)12:30pm to 2:00pm Book via https://www.urec.org.hk/urec/about/ x #urbandecay #redevelopment #urbanrenewal #urec #hongkong #hkkids #hkblogger #hongkongmom #hongkongparents #exhibition #hkurban #experience #afterschoolactivities #hongkongtour #understanding #local #mykids馬來港孩 #親子活動 #市建局 #市區更新探知館 #中環 #放學後 #課外活動 #市區重建 #保留 #香港 #親子活動 #香港好去處 #hktravel
