Richland Gardens
Richland Gardens (Chinese: 麗晶花園) is a home ownership scheme and Private Sector Participation Scheme in Kowloon Bay, Kowloon, Hong Kong, near the Kai Yip Estate. It was jointly developed by the Hong Kong Housing Authority and Shui On Land Limited. It consists of 22 residential blocks and a shopping centre completed in 1985.[1][2][3]
Kowloon Bay Health Centre Incident
In 1995, the government proposed the construction of a clinic which included a treatment centre for HIV/AIDS infection. The Richland Gardens residents were worried about bringing undesirable people and infectious disease to the area, and strongly protested against the plan.[4][5][6] Although the centre could still open in 1999, the residents continued to protest against the centre, by blocking access to the clinic, annoying and attacking patients and health care workers.[7] Several residents were then sued by the Equal Opportunities Commission, but finally the case was settled out of court in 2001.[8]
Transport
A monorail station has been proposed for Richland Gardens as part of the Environmentally Friendly Linkage System (also known as the Kai Tak monorail).
