  • A Relational Geography of Heritage in Post-1997 Hong Kong
    A RELATIONAL GEOGRAPHY OF HERITAGE IN POST-1997 HONG KONG by Lachlan Barber B.A., The University of King’s College, 2004 M.A., The University of British Columbia, 2006 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE AND POSTDOCTORAL STUDIES (Geography) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) July 2014 © Lachlan Barber, 2014 Abstract The central question of this dissertation is: what can Hong Kong teach us about the geography of heritage? The study considers the discursive transformation of cultural heritage as a feature of Hong Kong’s transition since the 1997 retrocession to Chinese sovereignty. Specifically, it traces the contradictory growth of interest in heritage as an urban amenity on the part of the government, and its simultaneous framing as a socio-political critique of neoliberal governance on the part of actors in civil society. The study analyses these dynamics from a perspective attentive to the relationships – forged through various forms of mobility and comparison – between Hong Kong and other places including mainland China, Great Britain, and urban competitors. The project relies on data gathered through English-language research conducted over a period of two and a half years. Sixty in-depth interviews were carried out with experts, activists, professionals and politicians in Hong Kong. Extensive surveys of government documents, the print and online media, and archival materials were undertaken. Other methods employed include site visits and participant observation. The methodology was oriented around the analysis of processes of heritage policy and contestation over a number of sites in Central, Hong Kong and surrounding districts where contradictory visions of the meaning of heritage have played out materially.

  • Paper on the Proposed Kwu Tung North and Fanling North
    立法會 Legislative Council LC Paper No. CB(1)925/13-14(07) Ref: CB1/PL/DEV Panel on Development Meeting on 25 February 2014 Background brief on the proposed Kwu Tung North and Fanling North New Development Areas Purpose This paper provides background information on the proposed Kwu Tung North ("KTN") and Fanling North ("FLN") New Development Areas ("NDAs") and gives a brief account of the views and concerns expressed by Members on the subject at the meetings of the Legislative Council ("LegCo") and the Panel on Development ("DEV Panel") since July 20131. Background 2. The Planning and Development Study on the North East New Territories commissioned in 1998 identified KTN, FLN and Ping Che/Ta Kwu Ling ("PC/TKL") as suitable NDAs for development in one scheme, namely the NENT NDAs. In view of the slower growth of population, the NENT NDAs proposals were shelved in 2003. Four years later, the findings of the "Hong Kong 2030: Planning Vision and Strategy" recommended proceeding with the NDA developments to address the long-term housing need and to create more employment opportunities. 1 KTN and FLN NDAs are two of the three NDAs (KTN, FLN and Ping Che/Ta Kwu Ling) proposed under the North East New Territories ("NENT") NDAs project. On 4 July 2013, having gone through three stages of public engagement from 2008 to 2012 on the proposed project, the Administration announced that it would first proceed with the planning of KTN and FLN NDAs. The proposed Ping Che/Ta Kwu Ling NDA will be reviewed and re-planned.
