Community Publication & Education Scheme
Wet market is an indispensable community infrastructure, which support the caterers and families daily needs of fresh ingredients in Hong Kong. However, the authorities recent management and planning policies are discouraging wet market’s development, and affecting people’s livelihood in a long term.
In the past few years, SEE Network researched in Graham Street Market in Central, and many wet markets in Sham Shui Po comprehensively, we affirmed the values of wet market, and concluded some planning inspirations of market-community co-existence.
Recently, the Food and Health Bureau announced that, no more wet market will be built in the coming several years, meanwhile, retailers of Lai Shing Garden’s market were forced to close. We therefore initiated this project, to analyze the importance of wet market and its planning principals with systematic and sensible content, as well as lively ways of expression.
