UREC

Since 2009, the Urban Renewal Exploration Centre (‘UREC’) has been providing students, community organisations and the general public with information about the urban renewal in Hong Kong, including the problem of urban decay and the mission and work of the Urban Renewal Authority (‘URA’). The UREC, located in H6 CONET, a community space on the ground floor of The Center, presents a real-life experience of dilapidated housing, interesting exhibits, interactive multimedia facilities and sharing corner. It aims to inspire visitors to understand and approach urban renewal issues from various perspectives.

Project and scheme details are available at the 32-point touch screen UR Info Hub. With a mobile device pre-installed with this UREC’s app, visitors can take away project information just swiping them into their mobile device.
