The new government's top priority is to solve the housing problem. Chief Executive-designate Li Jiachao led the main officials of the new government to appear today (19th). There was no positive response to the specific policy goals and methods to achieve the "speed, efficiency, quality, and quantity" of housing construction they referred to.


No positive response to public housing waiting time targets

Ho Wing-yin pointed out that the transition from the Architectural Services Department to the Housing Bureau is a huge challenge. At present, many people in Hong Kong have an unsatisfactory living environment. They live in small spaces. Children have to do their homework in bed. To improve the fate of many families, he described the work of the Housing Bureau as a job of "pulling up the sleeves".

She also appealed to the construction industry to contact them on the first day of work to seek professional advice and jointly solve the housing problem.

Ning Hanhao pointed out that as the Director of Lands and the Permanent Secretary of the Development Bureau in the past, he understood that the supply of land and housing is the top priority of the policy. Create conditions for development. In the future, we will cooperate closely with various professions and have positive interactions to build Hong Kong with the people first.

She also pointed out that she will use the golden phrase "don't be afraid, just believe" to urge herself to do a good job.

During the question-and-answer session, a reporter asked if the current waiting time for public housing is as long as 6.1 years, and whether there is a specific target for how much the term can be shortened.

Ho Wing-hsien pointed out that numbers are the "results". The government's goal is to speed up housing construction. Even if it is accelerated for 1 or 2 months, it is necessary to strive for it. However, it still takes some time to grasp the basis of some figures. The most important thing is to do a good job in housing construction. Determined to strengthen coordination and allow more work to be carried out in parallel.

Working with Sun Dong on Applied Technology to Accelerate the Development Program

Another reporter asked what specific ideas the new team has to solve problems such as caged houses and subdivided housing, so that the public can see hope.

Ning Hanhao pointed out that the government has adopted different strategies for land supply in recent years, including new development areas such as the northern metropolitan area, and the use of brownfield sites.

She mentioned that the community expects the government to streamline development procedures, and the work in this area has not stopped. In recent months, the government has launched preliminary proposals to reduce statutory procedures, hoping to submit legislative amendment proposals to the Legislative Council as scheduled. In addition, the government will strengthen policy bureaux. In the future, adding a deputy director will be of great help to the collaboration.

He Yongxian added that he hoped that the media would immediately feel the tacit understanding between her and Ning Hanhao, and housing construction involves a lot of inter-departmental cooperation, and these work will not stop.

In addition, they also communicated with the incoming Secretary for Innovation, Technology and Industry, Sun Dong, whether there are more new technologies that can be adopted to speed up land development.

At the end of the press conference, a reporter asked again what specific indicators and solutions the new government has on housing.

Ho Wing-yin responded that substantive policies can only be obtained after the work is carried out. Since she is from the Architectural Services Department, she will have to hold a meeting with her colleagues from the Housing Department later on which practical projects have room to speed up, and then inspect the site before she can explain it.
