Neighbourhood Commons @ Tsuen Wan 共享鄰里空間@荃灣
Neighbourhood: Tsuen Wan
Project Date: 2020-2021
Working Partner: Chinachem Group
Key Topics Explored: New & Old Integration, Inclusive Open Spaces, Business Collaborations, Heritage and Culture
Facing the undercurrents of rapid neighbourhood change, Tsuen Wan is presented with the challenge of a new-old divide. This project is an iterative process with an ambitious aim of realising a neighbourhood commons, where neighbours in Tsuen Wan would come together as a whole to share and manage resources with a shared identity. With an in-depth research on the concept of commoning, the principles of developing an urban commons are introduced. Based on the principles, this project is downscaled to a neighbourhood scale - creating a neighbourhood commons. 8 local and international case studies are featured as a comparison through the lens of scale, depth and complexity.
Together with 40 civic design fellows and 39 corporate fellows, NIL embarked on a journey. Neighbourhood Commons@Tsuen Wan was carried out from October 2020 to June 2021. Over the eight-month period, NIL has reached out to stakeholders across sectors in Tsuen Wan, including neighbours, businesses, civic organisations, social innovators and corporate. The engagement process included 3 street polling sessions, an online survey, 5 focus group discussions, 40 1-1 interviews, 8 ideation and prototyping workshops, 17 co-creating experiences and an exhibition, engaging over 5800 audiences.

重點研究領域: 新舊交替、共融的公共空間、商店合作、歷史文化
在社區轉變下,荃灣正面臨一個新舊交替的局面。懷著一個實踐共享鄰里空間的願景, 本項目是一個重覆反饋的過程,讓荃灣各街坊走在一起,培養歸屬感下,共同享用與管 理資源。在深入探討共享這概念後,我們提取出建設城市共生的原則。根據這些原則,本項目將城市共生的概念縮小至鄰里的層面——創造一個荃灣共享鄰里空間。我們講述了8個本地與海外例子,并從規模、深度和複雜程度進行比較。
鄰里關係研究所與40位街坊研究員和39位企業研究員,一同開展旅程。「共享鄰里空間@荃灣」於2020年10月到2021年6月進行。在過去的8個月, 鄰里關係研究所接觸了荃灣不同界別的持份者,其中包括街坊、店鋪、公民組織、社會創新者與企業。整個接觸過程包括了3次街頭問卷活動、1份網上問卷、5次焦點小組、40個一對一訪談、8個公共構思研討會與原型設計工作坊、17次共創體驗,與1個總共接觸到到 5800個參與者。
