Very impressive project! The SIA BOEY Urban Archaeological Park in Penang is now open for public.

The Sia Boey Urban Archaeological Park’s rejuvenation project is to transform Sia Boey into an area that facilitates the coexistence of development and heritage conservation in Georgetown, Penang.

This Sia Boey project is to add value to the George Town UNESCO World Heritage Site by enhancing the outstanding universal value with program and space created for the local people and restoring the shophouses in future phase.

This project would also revitalize the area of Komtar Phase 5 making it the socio-civic centre and business hub of the Penang state.

The project is being undertaken by PDC in collaboration with GTWHI, Universiti Sains Malaysia, Penang Island City Council (MBPP) and with other stakeholders like Think City and George Town Conversation & Development Corporation.

The forthcoming Phase 2 works include restoring two shophouses along Jalan Magazine as community facilities space and having public archaeology program for children to teach them archaeological methods, analysis and interpretation program.

Phase 3 proposed works also include the restoration and adaptive reuse of all the 22 shophouses and using some of the buildings to display the artifacts in the new Prangin Archaeological Gallery as public education and outreach program.
