Wedding Card Street Redevelopment
Lee Tung Street, or Wedding Card Street, is slated for redevelopment by the government. With a site area of 8,900 square metres and 54 buildings, this area is expected to be transformed into a pedestrian-friendly zone, with three historical tenement houses to be preserved. However, there has been much local opposition regarding the preservation of the area's historic character, which got its nickname decades ago when the government moved the wedding card printers to the street for easier regulation, as well as relocation options. Some residents wanted to stay in Wan Chai, but the government hasn't been able to meet all their requests.
