The keystakeholders are listed below:a] The Developer of Wan Chai Market siteb] Planning Departmentc] Transport Departmente] Highways Departmentf ] Urban Renewal Authorityg] Antiquities Advisory Boardh] Antiquities and Monuments OfficeI ] Ruttonjee HospitalJ] The Wan Chai community• An example of one of the preliminary multi-wins ideas wassuggested with critical benefits to the developer, theCommunity and Ruttonjee Hospital.a] Ruttonjee Hospital will have part of its governed area taken out tobe re-delineated as part of the “Comprehensive DevelopmentArea”(CDA) zone where Wan Chai Market now falls within.b] The redevelopment plot ratio of the Wan Chai Market Site willbe achieved at the newly added part of CDA zone.c] Or, part of the plot ratio of the Wan Chai Market Site will beretained in-situ that it is provided on the roof-top of the Market.The architectural character and appearance of the newlyadded building should be well matched with the Market.d] These will ensure Wan Chai Market to be conserved withoutundermining the development interests of the developer.e] The existing use of the Wan Chai Market may be changed to arehabilitation centre of Ruttonjee Hospital to improve theexisting services provided by the Hospital, which is just on theother side of the hill at the rear of the Market.f ] An additional escalator or pedestrian link may be provided onthe hillside at the back of the Market so that the local residentscan access to Ruttonjee Hospital. The Market will thenprovide an additional entry for the Ruttonjee Hospital.g] The rooftop of the Market may be designed as a gatheringplace for the patients to meet their families.h] A hostel for patients’ families may be provided on the hillside.i ] If possible, the above ideas can be combined together, asappropriate, so that a comprehensive rehabilitation improvementand heritage conservation scheme could further be developed.These would highly benefit Ruttonjee Hospital and the local community.17

If more local people are to get involved,more different voices will be better reflected in the proposedideas.030304 Relevance and Implications to Wan Chai Market• The decision on demolition of Wan Chai Market is worthre-visiting in light of the success in exploring some preliminarymulti-wins ideas for conservation.
