Since 2013, the Government has identified a total of 216 sites with the potential of being rezoned for residential uses after
multiple rounds of land use reviews. The rezoning status of these 216 sites has been examined, and it is found that little progress
has been made in 2019. As of January 2020, only 132 sites had been successfully rezoned, while the rezoning process for 64
sites is still awaiting to be commenced.
In 2019, only three sites among the 216 sites completed their rezoning procedures, which will provide public
housing of 4,400 units in the future. To put it into context, against the annual supply target of 30,100 units of
public housing, the three sites’ supply will only be 15% of such target.
