This 'homegevity' model, championed by former AsiaWorld-Expo CEO Allen Ha Wing-on, has reportedly saved residents over HK$1 billion by focusing on consistent, preventive upkeep rather than large-scale, costly renovations. This strategy offers a potential solution for aging buildings in Hong Kong and other cities facing urban decay, contrasting with the city's current HK$31 billion expenditure on mandatory renovations.
