Hong Kong is home to nearly 110,000 subdivided housing units. In its 2023 policy address, the government proposed the establishment of a working group to address this pressing issue by setting minimum living standards and studying methods to prevent the proliferation of substandard subdivided housing units.
The results of the research conducted by the working group are yet to be made public. In an investigation conducted by HK01, social workers visited numerous subdivided housing units and witnessed various distressing living conditions. They encountered rooftop structures with duplex layouts, where upper floors were inhabited while lower levels accommodated shared kitchen and bathroom facilities. They also saw corner cubicle units divided into four subunits, with ceiling heights of merely around 1.8 meters. Furthermore, they came across subdivided units with open-style toilets and less than 40 square feet of living space.
Even with the establishment of standards in the future, it is expected that multiple types of substandard subdivided housing units will persist below these standards. In the face of this "inferior among the inferior," besides the research conducted by the working group, it is worth exploring alternative methods to prioritize the resolution of these pressing housing issues.

未來縱有標準，標準之下仍會有多類劏房。面對「劣中之劣」，在工作小組研究的同時，又能否有其他方法優先解決這些劏房呢？
