Members of Hong Kong's Town Planning Board raised concerns that the famous flower market could lose its "spirit" during redevelopment.
Board member Wong Woon-chung expressed the hope that the market's unique characteristics would be preserved in the plans.
The proposed plan aims to revitalize the area, involving 31 buildings and affecting approximately 275 households and 33 shops.
Residents and a concern group fear the integrity of the flower market will be compromised, advocating for the inclusion of old buildings in the project.
The development aims to create a residential and commercial complex with 1,350 flats, targeting completion around 2035.
