Secretary for Transport and Public Works Raimundo do Rosario, who chairs the Urban Renewal Council, said yesterday that the government should lead the urban renewal process, whether by putting one of the current bureaus in charge, by establishing a new bureau, or by setting up a government-owned company.
Rosario made the remarks yesterday after the Urban Renewal Council’s fifth meeting.
The closed-door meeting was held at the Transport Bureau (DSAT). The government-appointed council is tasked with advising the government on its urban renewal policies.
During yesterday’s meeting, the council divided itself into three groups and elected their respective co-ordinators. Two projects were assigned to each group for further discussion.
