According to the "Hong Kong 2030+: Towards a Planning Vision and Strategy Transcending 2030" study, Hong Kong's society will face the challenge of "double-ageing" in terms of both population and buildings in the future. The report forecasts that by 2048, there will be around 854,000 private residential units over 50 years old, and around 373,000 units over 70 years old across the city.

Additionally, the recent incidents of concrete spalling from building exteriors have raised concerns over the safety of old buildings. What problems can dilapidation and ageing of buildings bring about? The Mandatory Building Inspection Scheme has been implemented since 2012 - can it assure citizens of living in safe homes? Building ageing seems unavoidable, so what strategies can different sectors of society adopt to address this issue?
