大廈病了 ─ 物業管理策略篇
Property Management Strategy

趙麗霞博士城市規劃及環境管理研究中心副教授
Dr. Rebecca ChiuAssociate Professor,The Centre of Urban Planning and Environmental Management


香港地少人多,大廈向高空發展實也逼不得已。不過,人口密度高不一定引來傳染病,冰封三尺,最先生病的,很可能是管理不善的大廈。從來預防勝於治療,趙麗霞博士跟大家細談物業管理策略。

Vertical development of property is inevitable in a place like Hong Kong where land is scarce and the number of people, tremendous. However, high population density does not necessarily cause high infection rate of a disease. Prevention is better than cure. Dr. Rebecca Chiu illustrates the strategies of property management in preventing SARS.

一九九七年,政府發表報告,指香港百分之三十的商業大廈屬「病廈」,顯示本地樓房質素強差人意。淘大花園疫情驚心,再次提醒大眾重視樓宇設計、設備及保養。

In 1997, a government report indicated that 30% of commercial buildings in Hong Kong were of poor quality. The case of Amoy Garden reminds us of the importance of building design, facilities and maintenance. Dr. Yuguo Li reflects on the importance of indoor environmental engineering.
