Making Home: a visual ethnography of Tai Hang domestic space

Keywords

Tai Hang, an area divided into southern hills and a northern plain, experienced major housing redevelopment twice, once in the late 1950s to early 1960s, and the other after the mid-2000s. Because of property-led redevelopment in the mid-2000s, the former working-class neighborhood in Tai Hang plain is now mixed with newer middle-class neighbors. This research studies how different people living in different ‘homes’ in Tai Hang. This research also creates a website, ‘Making Home: Tai Hang’, to investigate Hong Kong home culture via hypermedia presentation.
