Outline of Research at the Start

This research examines how the voluntary sector includes precarious populations into the urban society via service hubs, how it has been able to develop itself within the East Asian anti-welfare context, and how the sector preserves itself from encroaching redevelopment and political contestation.

Outline of Final Research Achievements

This research was originally concerned with the preservation strategies of inner-city service hubs amidst large-scale urban renewal trends in Hong Kong and Singapore. While gentrification-like encroachment is noticeable on the ground, no significant pressures for displacement were found. On the contrary, the outbreak of the pandemic has had a consolidating effect on the service hubs, especially as frontline service providers to precarious populations. The spatial form of this consolidation process showed different features, though. In Hong Kong, a thickening of services was observed as third sector organizations have entered local housing markets to revive vacant units as social housing. This resembles the wider housing context were new co-living arrangements have been gaining momentum. In Singapore, new civil organizations networks have expended the reach of service hubs beyond their inner-city turf. Both trends have theoretical implications for the concept of urban inclusivity.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

Service hubs are highly innovative during social crises, foremost due to third sector services being able to maneuver outside rigid public policy structures. This research has raised social awareness on the indispensable role that service hubs play amidst high inequality in city-regions.
