Street market has been an important part of our urban culture, local economy, and social infrastructure in Hong Kong. With a multi-disciplinary team led by Manfred Yuen, Hawker Reload is a project initiated by PolyU JCDISI where we have embarked on a journey to understand street markets, Hong Kong’s unique heritage and to provide design solutions for hawker stands in Hong Kong.

The prime objective of Hawker Reload is to suggest how the design of future hawker stalls may develop and how future designs should respond to the suggestions on hawker stalls fire safety made by the Hong Kong Government in the aftermath of the Fa Yuen Street fire in 2011.

After 4 years of research and implementation, over 4,063 hawker stalls in Hong Kong have been renewed to the new design.
