Abstract: Abstract of thesis entitled Environmental Policies, Urban Planning Strategies and Urban Development in Hong Kong Submitted by Yeung Choi Shan for the degree of Master of Philosophy at The University of Hong Kong in September 2004 Environmentalism is a concept that relates in part to human impacts on the environment and environmental protection. Since the 1980s, there has been a rising level of environmental awareness among Hong Kong people. People here began to become aware of their close relationship with nature. They seem to realize that, by protecting the environment, they can attain a better quality of life. Thus, they believe, additional effort should be put into environmental protection and environmental factors should be taken into account in the decision-making process of the government in order to obtain the benefits from a good environment. As urban planning is one of the main tools for the achievement of a good living environment, increased attention has been focused on how this profession could help establish a good living and working environment for the people in Hong Kong. Indeed, since the 1980s, the Hong Kong government has taken up the lead in this regard by giving a higher priority to environmental issues. Environmental factors have been actively considered in the planning agenda and in the early stages of the planning process. This study aims at understanding the relationship between rising environmentalism and urban development and planning within the context of Hong Kong, with a specific focus centred on the role of the government. It will examine the ways that the increased concern for the environment has been incorporated into the wide-ranging activities of urban development and planning in Hong Kong as well as their implications. Through addressing these issues, the study will delineate and evaluate the past experiences in formulating environmental policies and programs. The inter-relationships between the environment and urban development and planning will be presented. Besides, this study will identify and discuss the most important implications of the government's pro-environment stance for urban landscape and urban development pattern in Hong Kong.
