Urban Coexistence Addressing Foreign Domestic Worker Space Conflicts

This project addresses spatial conflicts caused by migrant domestic workers’ festive gatherings in Hong Kong’s Central district. Through behavioral mapping and spatial classification, we propose a “red-line zoning” system that regulates activity scale, density, time, and safety thresholds based on space types. Integrated with a festive calendar, noise control and circulation management guidelines, the strategy culminates in a tactical handbook. The design aims to create a flexible framework for negotiating between informal cultural practices and formal spatial governance, offering a replicable model for urban coexistence in dense multicultural cities.
