Sham Shui Po is an area where [[urban decay]] is serious in Hong Kong, so the government is carrying out [[urban renewal]] projects.

In July 2003 the [[Hong Kong Housing Society]] (HKHS) announced that its first urban renewal project would be to improve the living environment at Po On Road/Wai Wai Road in Sham Shui Po. Covering an area of {{convert|2436|m2}} and affecting approximately 500 households, this project will provide 330 residential flats and some retail units. Government, institutional, and community facilities will also be erected for the community. This development will require the HKHS to acquire about 157 properties, costing an estimated HK$240 million. The total development cost of the project is about HK$720 million. To promote creative tourism in old Hong Kong districts of [[Wan Chai]] and Sham Shui Po Hong Kong Design Centre unveiled a budget of HK$60 million.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.scmp.com/news/hong-kong/hong-kong-economy/article/2174408/hk60-million-scheme-promote-creative-tourism-old|title=HK$60 million plan to get creative with tourism in Wan Chai, Sham Shui Po|first=Kanis|last=Leung|work=South China Morning Post|date=2018-11-22|access-date=2018-11-23}}</ref>
