Public Open Space and Landscape

To maximise greenery, a number of green outdoor spaces composed of trees and shrub planting
situated at different levels are to be provided and inter-connected by direct indoor or outdoor
routes to enable convenient way-finding and to allow barrier free and age-friendly access. These

landscaped spaces can be used to host various activities and design features that are expected
to enhance and extend Mong Kok’s identity. Optimal visual and physical connection will
be provided between the POS and the surrounding areas including the proposed POS on the

Mong Kok East Station deck and the existing Luen Wan Street Sitting-out Area to enable
higher levels of visual permeability, creating a pedestrian friendly walking environment based on
a sustainable design approach (Figure 10). One OVT and two trees bearing the character of
OVT within the Site are to be preserved. About 9 750 square metres (including 3 200 square
metres on the adjacent Mong Kok East Station deck) of POS will be provided, which helps to

alleviate the lack of POS in the area but also being able to optimise the utilisation of the Site to
provide adequate floor space to balance the demands of various uses in the area as well as the
wider territory.
