This insightful book provides a comprehensive survey of urban development in Hong Kong since 1841. Pui-yin Ho explores the ways in which the social, economic and political environments of different eras have influenced the city's development. From colonial governance, wartime experiences, high density development and the return to Chinese sovereignty in 1997 through to contemporary challenges, this book explores forward-looking ideas that urban planning can offer to lead the city in the future. Evaluating the relationship between town planning and social change, this book looks at how a local Hong Kong identity emerged in the face of conflict and compromise between Chinese and European cultures. In doing so, it brings a fresh perspective to urban research, providing historical context and direction for the future development of the city. Hong Kong's urban development experience offers not only a model for other Chinese cities but also a better understanding of Asian cities more broadly.Urban studies scholars will find this an exemplary case study of a developing urban landscape. Town planners and architects will also benefit from reading this comprehensive book as it shows how Hong Kong can be taken to the next stage of urban development and modernisation.

Asian Urbanization surveys the most significant facets of Hong Kong's remarkable urban development during the last twenty-five years. Some of the contributions, by authors from both the University of Hong Kong and the Hong Kong Government, were originally given at a series of seminars on problems of urbanization held in the Centre of Asian Studies of the University of Hong Kong. In this up-to-date form they provide a comprehensive survey of the problems of physical planning in Hong Kong and, on a comparative basis, in Asia and elsewhere. The wide scope of the book includes studies of the massive housing programmes for the resettlement of squatters which have attracted such international attention; the legal background to urban growth; urban renewal; the transport pattern and recent proposals for an undergroundmass-transport rail system, small-scale industrial units, and the creation of new towns- all extensively illustrated with detailed plates, maps and diagrams. Hong Kong's pattern of urban development is perhaps the most dynamic in the Third World and this assessment, which may in parts prove to be controversial, should be read by all those concerned with the planning of the rapidly expanding cities of developing countries and by students of comparative urbanization everywhere.

Abstract: The Role of Rail Transit Node for Place Making and Urban Development in Hong Kong Abstract ABSTRACT This dissertation is about place making at urban areas around rail transit node in Hong Kong for creation of a sense of place that encourages social interaction and urban activities to bring about vibrancy and to enhance liveability to the community at large. Railway transport plays a key role in public transportation in Hong Kong as it provides mass transit through the densely populated urban areas in Hong Kong which is fast, safe, efficient, reliable and environmental friendly as opposed to road transport. Transit node not only functions as a transportation station for railway network but also as an urban catalyst for development around it. Transit node involves large volume of passenger movement which generates commercial and social interaction opportunities and hence induces immense vitality and vibrancy to the surrounding area. Responsive urban design to station area is therefore needed to derive supportive urban environment to capture these potentials accordingly. This dissertation comprises two parts, i.e. Part One: Topic Study and Part Two: Design Proposal. The topic study seeks to research on the key qualities for formation of community-sensitive and people-oriented urban environment around transit node and to derive a set of corresponding principles for the application to the urban setting of Hong Kong. The conceptual design in the design proposal illustrates the application of the findings derived in the topic study. For the discussion in this dissertation, 'station area development' refers to the developments occur within the area at or around the transit node that can take advantage of the transit services and station facilities. The focus of this dissertation is the spatial characters and physical layout of the urban environment around the transit nodes of the Mass Transit Railway (MTR). Aspects related to government polices, real estates and land economics do not form part of the scope of this dissertation. The overall approach, methodology and limitation of this dissertation are explained in Chapter One. Chapter Two of this dissertation first gives a broad bush review to station area development around the current MTR transit nodes whereby to identify relevant issues on the urban setting and trend occurred through the development of MTR since 1979. This chapter also includes case studies to station area developments at three selected MTR transit nodes representing three different generations of MTR development. The findings form relevant perspective and focuses for the formulation of theoretical framework in Chapter Three. The theoretical framework established in Chapter Three involves literature review to key attributes for community sensitive station area development. The theoretical framework is established from three different approaches, i.e. transit-oriented, place-making and development/redevelopment. Findings from theoretical framework together with the broad bush review in Chapter Two are consolidated to derive the notion of - Transit Activated District (TAD) and the Principles for Transit Activated Development. Chapter Four of this dissertation includes a practical example to derive an urban design framework for transit activated developments in Aberdeen for the MTR South Island Line developm

The trajectory and logic of urban development in post-Mao China have been shaped and defined by the contention between domestic and global capital, central and local state and social actors of different class status and endowment. This urban transformation process of historic proportion entails new rules for distribution and negotiation, novel perceptions of citizenship, as well as room for unprecedented spontaneity and creativity. Based on original research by leading experts, this book offers an updated and nuanced analysis of the new logic of urban governance and its implications.
