New Ways to Rehabilitate Old Buildings
適當的舊樓復修，不但可以令居住環境更加舒適、安全及衛生，而且還可以提高樓宇的價值，活化舊樓的按揭市場，一舉多得。 市區重建局社區事務及公共關係委員會主席李偉民先生今日（星期五）在一項舊區樓宇復修專題創作比賽頒獎典禮致辭時，作上述表示。 他說：「經過市建局的推動，銀行界對復修樓宇的按揭市場潛力，反應正面。」 其他出席典禮的主禮嘉賓尚有油尖旺區議會主席陳文佑議員，市建局行政總監林中麟先生，及救世軍社會服務部總監郭原慧儀女士。 是項名為「居安『私』危---舊區樓宇復修專題創作比賽」的活動，由救世軍市區重建社區服務隊主辦及市區重建局贊助，今年4月至7月期間舉辦。目的是讓全港的中學生有機會親身體驗舊區樓宇的問題，並作專題探討研究，透過他們創作的作品，向舊樓業主宣揚樓宇復修的重要性。 李偉民說：「幾十年來，社會上普遍存在一種錯誤的看法，認為樓宇年齡大就一定變舊，變舊就一定殘破，殘破就一定要拆卸。事實並非如此，如果樓宇保養得宜，不單是舊而不殘，甚至可以比較普通的新樓更具吸引力，情況好比一部保養良好的老爺車，有時比較一般的新車更好用、更有吸引力、更有市場價值。」 市建局的樓宇復修計劃，目的是針對一般人對樓宇復修的薄弱意識，大力提倡復修文化，將這種文化植根社區。 他指出，市建局自去年十月推出樓宇復修試驗計劃以來，已有14幢大廈完成或正展開復修工程，亦有20幢的樓宇復修工程正在籌劃中，涉及4,000個單位。 此外，市建局最近亦推出一項樓宇復修貸款及資助計劃，協助經濟上有困難的業主，初步進展良好。未來五年，估計會有540幢大廈的業主受惠，單位數目約達3萬多個。 市建局期望舊區的舊樓，逐步變成都市綠洲，再次展現更美好的生命力。他說：「我們是本著『你肯做、我幫手』的原則，為業主提供物料資助、技術支援或財政的協助，亦擔當重要的中間人角色，令他們有信心、有動機、有能
