Minimal or aggressive?Ranging from minimal to aggressive intervention, architects have created four competing concepts for revitalizing the Central Market (中環街市).This former fresh food market is located between Jubilee Street and Queen Victoria Street along Des Voeux Road Central and was the first wet market in Hong Kong. It is one of two remaining Bauhaus market buildings. Connected with footbridges to the mid-levels escalator the building is guaranteed to be used by many.To decide on your favourite option, join CitySpeak to debate the proposals with the four architects, the Urban Renewal Authority, and Vito Bertin who will represent the "building".
