Kwun Tong District
Welcome Message from Andy LAM, JP, District Officer (Kwun Tong)
Thank you for visiting the website of the Kwun Tong District Office.
Kwun Tong is not just the home to around 670 000 residents, but also a vibrant community which has gradually become the second central business district (CBD2) of Hong Kong with the transformation of old industrial buildings into new commercial premises with retail, dining and entertainment facilities. It is well-connected with other parts of Hong Kong through railways, highways and tunnels, and with the impending completion of the Tseung Kwan O – Lam Tin Tunnel and the East Kowloon Cultural Centre, Kwun Tong District will continue to be the hub in the eastern part of the territory.
As part of the Home Affairs Department, the Kwun Tong District Office serves as the focal point for district administration, ensuring that public policies are effectively implemented at the district level. We provide funding to implement or sponsor community involvement projects, and oversee the implementation of works projects under the district minor works programme. Working closely with the Kwun Tong District Council, relevant Area Committees, the Kwun Tong District Fight Crime Committee, the Kwun Tong District Fire Safety Committee and the Kwun Tong District Youth Programme Committee, etc., we strive to take forward the concept of “addressing district issues at the local level and capitalising on local opportunities” by enhancing the communication between the Government and the local community and coordinating the services of government departments at the district level. We also assist bureaux and departments in arranging public consultation on district and territory-wide issues, and ensure that public views on important issues are reflected for consideration in the policy-making process.
The urban renewal and housing development projects in the district, as well as the continuous transformation of the Kwun Tong Business Area, will present opportunities as well as challenges for the district. Looking ahead, the Kwun Tong District Office will strengthen collaboration and partnership between the Government and different stakeholders in the local community, with a view to enhancing the quality of life for people living and working in the district and beyond.

Profile (Kwun Tong District)
Kwun Tong is one of the largest administrative districts in Hong Kong, covering 1 130 hectares in area and a population of around 670 000, which is about 9.1% of Hong Kong's overall population. It comprises seven major areas, i.e. Ngau Tau Kok, Kwun Tong Town Centre, Shun Lee, Sau Mau Ping, Lam Tin, Yau Tong and Kowloon Bay and Kwun Tong Business Area.
Kwun Tong is a mini metropolis where industrial, business and residential developments progress with times. At the same time, old villages like Lei Yue Mun and Cha Kwo Ling maintain their long-standing cultural characteristics. As the manufacturing factories moved northwards to the Mainland, the industrial area in Kwun Tong had gradually transformed. In recent years, a number of community development projects have been launched, such as the Kwun Tong Town Centre Redevelopment, Development at Choi Wan Road and Jordan Valley, Public Housing Development at Anderson Road, Public Housing Redevelopment at Lower Ngau Tau Kok and Cross District Community Cultural Centre, etc, giving Kwun Tong a new outlook and providing a more comfortable environment for residents.
