行德 Walk DVRC

Chartered Institute of Transport (CILTHK) promoted a scheme “Creating a Better Place for People: Des Voeux Road (DVRC) Pedestrian Precinct.”

In 2014, the proposal is updated. “Proposed Tram & Pedestrian Precinct in Des Voeux Road Central” set out how DVRC, between Pedder Street and Morrison Street, could become a green “tram and pedestrian precinct”. In 2015, the DVRC Initiative is formed with the support of a number of NGOs in Hong Kong. As a counterproposal to remove the tramway to make way for more traffic, we submitted an application to the Town Planning Board to rezone DVRC to open space with environmentally friendly public transport. The comments gathered from this public engagement exercise enabled us to better understand the issues and concerns of local stakeholders and start addressing them in a holistic manner. Walk DVRC will now be carried out by Walk DVRC Ltd to make DVRC more walkable and vibrant. We will set up a resource centre to facilitate the research and design work and for liaison among stakeholders, government and community. We aim to create a CBD 'for the people'.
