Who are we?
We are year 1 students from the College of Liberal Arts and Social Science of City University of Hong Kong. We are doing a group project about introducing a neighborhood in Hong Kong.
What is our aim?
We introduce Pottinger Street not only for our project but also for propagating Hong Kong’s local culture. We observed that more and more architecture with historical value were demolished due to economy needs and living needs under social development. We hope that by showing the beauty, special and characteristics of this street, more people can realize that it is something worth keeping, and more people can appreciate it as much as they appreciate the development.
Why do we choose Pottinger Street?
It is one of the oldest streets in Hong Kong which is located in a commercial and modern place--Central. We found that the contrast between the street and this district is quite unique and interesting. The blend of a historical and archaic street, and a busy and contemporary area, shows the accommodation ability of our city. It also proves the possibility of keeping old culture under social development. These are the ideas that we want to show to our audience, so that more and more people can treasure this place and our local culture.
