Introduction 簡介
Built in 1938, the current Central Market is one of the few
remaining building in Hong Kong with a contemporary
western building styles of 1930s, inter alia, the Bauhaus
was prevailing.
中環街市建於 1938 年，是本港少數現存以三十年代西方當
代建築風格 ( 當時以包浩斯主義最為普遍 ) 而設計的建築物。
With the further reclamation by the end of 20th Century and
the redevelopment of nearby sites, the area is now a
predominantly commercial and financial district with high-
rise buildings. With most of the residential buildings moved
further up to mid-levels, the Central Market was under
utilized to a point that it was closed and converted as a link
for the mid-level escalator system.
隨著二十世紀末的填海工程及附近土地的重建，本區己是
高樓大?林立的商業中心，大部份的住宅已遷往中半山。
現在，中環街市已經關閉及成為中半山扶手電梯系統的一
部份。
The government intended to demolish the Central Market
for private, commercial high-rise development and the site
is now listed in the List of Sites for Sale by Application.
政府有意把中環街市地皮改為作私人、商業發展用途，並已
放入供申請售賣土地表 ( 勾地表 ) 中。
The Wan Chai Market of similar modern style was
completed in Wan Chai in the same year of the completion
of the Central Market. Since the site of Wan Chai Market
shall be redeveloped under an Urban Renewal project, the
Central Market will become the
only available market
building in Hong Kong of such architectural styles.
在灣仔的灣仔街市是和中環街市在同一年以相近的西方當代
建築風格建成的，但由於灣仔街市將會在一市區重建項目中
被重建，中環街市將成為本港唯一這建築風格的街市建築。
