Wong Chuk Hang Estate (Chinese: 黃竹坑邨) was a public housing estate in Wong Chuk Hang, Hong Kong. The estate had 10 residential blocks, but it was cleared in 2007. The site will be replaced by the proposed MTR Wong Chuk Hang Station and Wong Chuk Hang Depot.
Background
Wong Chuk Hang Estate was the only "Government Low Cost Housing Estate" on Hong Kong Island in 1960s and 1970s. It had 10 blocks which were developed into 3 phases. Phase 1 (Block 1 and 2), Phase 2 (Block 3 to 6) and Phase 3 (Block 7 to 10) were completed in 1968, 1972 and 1973 respectively. In 1973, the estate was renamed as Wong Chuk Hang Estate. In 1985, Block 9 was found to have structural problems by the Hong Kong Housing Authority. Therefore, Block 9 was firstly demolished in 1988.[1][2][3] In 2007, the whole estate was cleared and most of the tenants moved to nearby Shek Pai Wan Estate.[4] The site will be replaced by the proposed MTR Wong Chuk Hang Station, a railway station of South Island Line, and the railway depot.[5]
