===Urban decay and renewal=== Many of Wan Chai's older buildings now face a serious problem of [[urban decay]]. To tackle the problem, the government has launched a series of [[urban renewal]] projects to bring new life into the area. Many local residents have relocation worries such as whether the [[Urban Renewal Authority]] can compensate enough to put them in a new space of equal size. Other concerns involve the loss of building character that make up part of that [[Culture of Hong Kong|Hong Kong cultural identity]]. * '''''Demolition of Lee Tung St''''' β Old buildings on [[Lee Tung Street]] are scheduled for demolition. Many businesses have shut down or moved out. Today, most stores have signs on their gate proclaiming "This is an [[Urban Renewal Authority]] Property". * '''''Renovation of Tai Yuen St''''' β Visitors may gain a distinctive experience of bustling local street-stall shopping in [[Tai Yuen Street]]. Many [[huckster]] stalls sell a wide variety of [[Food preservation|dried goods]], garments, household products, [[dumpling]]s, and [[Chinese herbal medicine]]. This predominantly tourist attraction area is a place where old houses and modern mansions mingle, creating an interesting disparity.
