Hong Kong is one of the most spectacular cities in the world. It has been built in a very short time. Its builders have achieved remarkable results but their contribution had not been documented. The Hong Kong Construction Association decided to correct this omission and commissioned this book to mark its 70th Anniversary. Consequently, the book concentrates on construction rather than design and highlights he main events in the evolution of the industry and its buildings up to the present day. Therefore, whilst reviewing historic projects and their builders, it also covers the modern era from 1970-90. The major landmarks of Hong Kong’s skyline are included but the less spectacular yet equally essential projects which contribute to Hong Kong’s social fabric are not neglected. The aim is to give flavor and feeling to the industry’s contribution to his remarkable city state.

This book aims to encourage an ecological approach to design and planning in an effort 'to build Hong Kong into a world-class city'.

What is particular of Hong Kong architecture and why is this book written? High-rise buildings constructed next to each other are a common scene in Hong Kong. On the street level, buildings are uninterruptedly connected to the pedestrian pavement. Hence, there have been remarks that such have formed a concrete jungle. This is a result of limited space for the built environment to cater for millions of people to live. As one of the most densely populated modern cities in the world, the buildings in Hong Kong are controlled through legislation of buildings and land to allow reasonable living standards for habitants as well as a fair opportunity for private/commercial projects to develop relating to their context.

4e de couv.: Chungking Mansions, a dilapidated seventeen-story commercial and residential structure in the heart of Hong Kong's tourist district, is home to a remarkably motley group of people. Traders, laborers, and asylum seekers from all over Asia and Africa live and work there, and even backpacking tourists rent rooms in what is possibly the most globalized spot on the planet. But as Ghetto at the center of the world shows us, the Mansions is a world away from the gleaming headquarters of multinational corporations -instead it epitomizes the way globalization actually works for most of the world's people. Through candid stories that both instruct and enthrall, Gordon Mathews lays bare the building's residents' intricate connections to the international circulation of goods, money, and ideas.

Hong Kong has become a by-word for all that is modern and sparkling in Asia today.Yet tourist brochures still play with the old cliche of Hong Kong as a place where ‘East meets West’. Images of so-called ‘traditional’ China, junks sailing Victoria Harbour or old women praying to gods in smoky temples, mingle with those portraying Hong Kong as a consumer and business paradise.This collection of essays attempts to transcend the old polarities. It looks at modern Hong Kong in all its splendour and diversity in the run-up to its re-absorption into Greater China through the mediums of film, food, architecture, rumors and slang.It explores the question of a distinct, modern Chinese identity in Hong Kong, and even when it explores the traditional stamping ground of the older anthropology in the New Territories it finds a dramatically changed context, in particular for women.This collection presents an intriguing insight into the process of transition from ‘tradition’ to ‘modernity’ in this Modern Chinese Metropolis.
