The slum area in Shek Kip Mei after the great fire on the Christmas Day of 1953.

The Resettlement Department (Chinese: 徙置事務處) was a department of the Government of Hong Kong, responsible for constructing resettlement estates for homeless refugees, established in 1954. In 1973, the Resettlement Department and the Building Section of the Urban Services Department were merged to form the Housing Department, which acts as the Housing Authority's executive body.[1]
