"The URA Board members come from different professions and sectors in the community with extensive experience and expertise. Their involvement and participation will certainly enhance the representativeness of the URA Board and will make profound contribution in advancing urban renewal in Hong Kong," said Mr So.

On behalf of the Board, Mr So also expressed his most sincere appreciation to three outgoing Board members, Mr Lester Garson Huang, Mr Philip Kan Siu-lun and Mr Philip Liao Yi-kang, for their invaluable contributions to the URA as well as to urban regeneration in Hong Kong as a whole.
