HONG KONG The Anthropology of a Chinese Metropolis ANTHROPOLOGY OF ASIA SERIES Published by Curzon Press and University ofHawai'i Press Series editor Grant Evans University ofHong Kong Asia today is one of the most dynamic regions of the world. The previously predominant image of'timeless peasants' has given way to the image of fast-paced business people, mass consumerism and high-rise urban conglomerations. Yet much discourse remains entrenched in the polarities of 'East vs. West', 'Tradition vs Change'. This series hopes to provide a forum for anthropological studies which break with such polarities. It will publish titles dealing with cosmopolitanism, cultural identity, representations, arts and performance. The complexities ofurban Asia, its elites, its political rituals, and its families will also be explored Dangerous Blood, Refined Souls Death Rituals among the Chinese in Singapore Tong Chee Kiong Anthropology and Colonialism in Asia Reflections on the Japanese, Dutch, Chinese, and Indian Experiences Edited by Jan van Bremen and Akitoshi Shimizu Folk Art Potters of Japan Beyond an Anthropology ofAesthetics Brian Moeran HONG KONG The Anthropology of a Chinese Metropolis Edited by Grant Evans and Maria Tam UNIVERSITY OF HAWAI'I PRESS HONOLULU Published in North America by University of Hawai'i Press 2840 Kolowalu Street Honolulu, Hawai'i 96822 First published in 1997 by Curzon Press 15 The Quadrant, Richmond Surrey, TW9 lBP © 1997 G.

Taipan by James Clavell Hong Kong has been revitalized. The Sino-British Joint Declara- tion, initialed September 26, 1984,' set in motion political forces which, it is hoped, will maintain Hong Kong's economic system and way of life through July 1, 2047. Until then, July 1, 1997 marks the date when the British government will transfer one of its remaining colonies directly to a communist state.2 Under the leadership of Deng Xiaoping, China has adopted a po- litical philosophy of "one country, two systems."' It is hoped that this philosophy will allow Hong Kong to continue its capitalist economy under socialist rule.

A Historical and Architectural Appraisal of Queen's Pier, Central
Page 1 of Annex B A Historical and Architectural Appraisal of Queen’s Pier, Central HISTORY The existing Queen’s Pier, built in 1953-1954, was the second Queen’s Pier in Hong Kong. The first one, located near the present-day carpark at Edinburgh Place, was completed in 1925. The old Queen’s Pier was demolished to make way for the reclamation of Victoria Harbour in the 1950s-60s. The existing pier was constructed at the new harbourfront, replacing the old one as a royal and public pier. Reclamation in the Early Colonial Years 2. After the British occupation of Hong Kong Island on 26 January 1841, the first land sale was held on 14 June. Purchasers were mostly the British, Indian and Parsee traders such as Dent, Jardines, Lindsay, etc. The traders were mainly import and export merchants and land lots chosen all had water frontage along the seashore of Victoria Harbour. The first road opened up was to the south, Queen’s Road. The land lots were then much expanded and reclaimed from the sea without paying rent to the government. The shoreline was made very irregular. The first land reclamations after 1841 were private ones without any planning at all. Praya Reclamation Scheme in the 1880s 3. The rapid increase of Hong Kong’s population after the British occupation drove the government to consider reclamation as a means to alleviate the high population density, housing and hygiene problems. In 1875, there were plans to carry out large-scale reclamation from Western District to Central. However, due to funding shortages and disputes with the existing Marine lot holders and the military over land rights along the Praya in Central, the plans did not materialize.
