The coming new offices and buildings of Kwun tong will create mass congestion for current employees and affect their well-being. The lack of comfortable and well-designed landscapes makes it difficult for the average worker to devote their full time and effort to their daily duties. As such, the population experiences an imbalance between their personal and professional lives.
Urban planning of the future CBD should produce a people-centric environment that will assist everyday employees and local residents to better balance the different spheres of their lives, by enabling more family support, child-care, education and community activities.
Other suggestions include more public spaces and sheltered pedestrian walkways that will make simple, everyday commodities accessible within a short walking distance from offices and homes.
In brief, the physical and economical accessibility within the district has to be improved between the residential and commercial areas to allow a well-balanced lifestyle.
