LegCo Panel on Housing visits Hong Kong Housing Society's Dedicated Rehousing Estate Casa Sierra (with photos)
******************************************************************************************
The following is issued on behalf of the Legislative Council Secretariat:

     At the invitation of the Hong Kong Housing Society (HKHS), the Legislative Council Panel on Housing visited the HKHS's Dedicated Rehousing Estate Casa Sierra in Fanling today (April 24) to learn about the latest situation since its completion. The estate is a crucial livelihood project in tandem with the development of the Northern Metropolis.
      
     Members first received a briefing from the HKHS Chairman, Professor Ling Kar-kan, on the design and features of Casa Sierra. Representatives of the HKHS also demonstrated the applications of gerontechnology solutions. One of the examples is the introduction of an AI robot and a robotic personal trainer which helps enhance interaction with the elderly and promote healthy lifestyles among them.
      
     Members also toured the show flats at Casa Sierra. The estate offers diverse housing types, including 1 ‍467 rental units, subsidised sale flats and Senior Citizen Residences Scheme units. Among these, the rental units and subsidised sale flats serve as a rehousing option for households affected by the Government's development clearance exercises. Apart from gaining a better understanding of the features of the subsidised sale flats and the Senior Citizen Residences Scheme units, Members exchanged views with the Government and HKHS representatives on how to create safer homes for the elderly.
      
     In addition, Members noted that the HKHS is gradually implementing Internet of Things (IoT) in property management, and they observed a demonstration of smart property management measures, such as the use of robotic patrol dogs and AI cleaning robots. Members encouraged the HKHS to adopt more innovative technologies to improve estate management efficiency and service quality, thereby enhancing the living environment for the residents.
      
     A total of 13 members and non-members of the Panel on Housing participated in the visit.
