Luen Wo Market – House of Urban and Rural Living is a revitalization project under Development Bureau’s Batch V of the Revitalising Historic Buildings Through Partnership Scheme. Once the largest market in the New Territories, it served as a community hub, offering daily necessities to the community. After its closure in 2002, the building was used as a recyclable collection centre until this adaptive reuse project was undertaken.
The revitalization aims to reintroduce the market's lively livelihood and cultural legacy to the public. Exhibitions and public spaces will showcase the building's original function, while promoting local agricultural products. By preserving the market's essence, the project celebrates the unique heritage and rural traditions of the New Territories. This adaptive reuse not only conserves history, but also creates a dynamic, multifunctional community space that connects urban and rural living. The project represents a thoughtful balance between honoring the past and shaping the future.
