Chairman of URA, Mr Barry Cheung, visits show flat at Lime Stardom
市區重建局（市建局）主席張震遠今日（星期六）參觀市建局與合作發展商新鴻基地產發展有限公司合作發展的形品．星寓的示範單位。該項目是在政府推出九招十二式，以及市建局公佈八項規管售樓措施之後，第一個市建局參與的公開發售樓盤。 他說，市建局及合作發展商非常注意各項售樓程序，務求符合九招十二式及市建局的規管措施。 張震遠認為形品．星寓的售樓程序已經完全符合這些措施，甚至超越有關措施的要求，例如已把所有377個單位的價單全部公佈。 市建局在未來18個月會有1,300個單位發售，其中7成約800個單位會在600呎以下。 他又表示形品．星寓的6成單位在500呎以下，售價介乎250多萬至300多萬元，相信可以回應到市場需求。 （完）

Chairman of URA, Mr Barry Cheung: Review of the work of URA
各位新聞界朋友： 正如大家知道，發展局已經就市建局2009/2010年度的工作向立法會提交文件匯報。我希望藉此機會，與大家回顧市建局過去的工作，包括財政狀況，以及未來的發展。 首先，我會用「秉持使命、迎接挑戰」這八個字來形容市建局上一個年度的工作成果。 一如以往，我們堅守著以改善舊區居民的居住環境為我們的首要任務。 鑑於社會對市區更新的期望和要求不斷提升，面對這些挑戰，我們亦與時並進，加強與社區的溝通，引入新思維和適當的優化措施，目標是希望市建局的工作更能符合社會的需求。 市建局自2001年成立以來，一直奉行「以人為本」的原則及採取4R的業務策略，進行市區更新工作。 重建及保育 在重建及保育方面，我們至今一共推行了48個重建 項目，項目全部完成後約可提供約1萬8千個新單位，超過49萬平方米商業樓面面積、約7萬4千平方米的政府╱團體╱社區設施，約12萬6千平方米土地作其 它用途及超過3萬7千平方米的休憩用地。此外，我們已計劃保育45幢戰前樓宇，包括太子道西及上海街兩列香港碩果謹存的騎樓式建築。 樓宇復修 從2004年開始，市建局的資助計劃已經協助了510多幢樓宇的4萬個單位的業主，進行樓宇復修。 另外，我們亦大力支持政府的樓宇更新大行動，正在協助參與的800幢樓宇，在兩年內進行復修。 舊區活化 我們繼續在大角咀、深水埗、荃灣等多個重建項目附近進行街道活化工程。 以下，我希望介紹一下市建局去年工作的一些重點: 九大突破 去年市建局在多個範疇上採取新猷。這些突破包括： 以特事特辦，急事急辦的方式，啟動馬頭圍道╱春田街項目，我們採取特別安排，協助受塌樓事件困擾的居民盡早遷出。至今已收到8成半（202個）的住宅租戶及3成多（15個）的自住業主的申請，我們正加速處理這些申請。 推出8項強化措施，規

Opinion poll supports Central Oasis Revitalisation Project
The Central Oasis revitalisation project of the Urban Renewal Authority (URA) is overwhelmingly endorsed by over 80 percent of some 6,000 people and visitors who have been asked about their views in an opinion poll for the way forward of the ex-Central Market building. The interviewed public also do not want to see an over-commercialised Central Oasis with lots of brand-name shops. Speaking to the media after the third meeting of the Central Oasis Community Advisory Committee (COCAC) today (Monday) together with some of the COCAC members, its Chairman Professor David Lung said findings of the poll indicated that the theme of Central Oasis is the most preferred revitalisation option of the ex-Central Market. Professor Lung outlined the work of the COCAC in relation to its terms of refere
