  • Infrastructure Development and Heritage Conservation
    213 Chapter 12 Infrastructure Development and Heritage Conservation While developing the infrastructure for Hong Kong’s economic growth, the Government is enriching the city’s living environment at the same time through conservation and revitalisation. Organisational Framework The Development Bureau was established on July 1, 2007 following the reorganisation of the Government Secretariat’s Policy Bureaux. It consists of two policy branches: Planning and Lands, and Works. The Development Opportunities Office was set up under the Bureau in 2009. The Planning and Lands Branch is responsible for policy governing planning, development, land use and supply, urban renewal, building safety, and land registration. Its policy objectives are to facilitate Hong Kong’s continual development through effective planning and use of land, a steady and sufficient supply of land, efficient registration of land, promoting and ensuring building safety and timely maintenance, and expediting urban renewal. The Works Branch is responsible for formulating public works policies and co-ordinating and monitoring the implementation of public works projects. It also takes charge of policy matters concerning greening, water supply, slope safety, and flood prevention as well as heritage conservation. The Development Bureau oversees the Planning Department, Lands Department, Buildings Department, Land Registry, Architectural Services Department, Civil Engineering and Development Department, Drainage Services Department, Electrical and Mechanical Services Department, and Water Supplies Department. The reorganisation of these nine government departments under one roof ensures more efficient co-ordination and resolution of inter-departmental issues relating to infrastructure development at an early stage. The Development Bureau is also responsible for enhancing the Government’s heritage conservation work and striking a balance between development and 214 Infrastructure Development and Heritage Conservation conservation.

  • The Globalization of Chinese Food ANTHROPOLOGY of ASIA SERIES Series Editor: Grant Evans, University Ofhong Kong
    The Globalization of Chinese Food ANTHROPOLOGY OF ASIA SERIES Series Editor: Grant Evans, University ofHong Kong Asia today is one ofthe most dynamic regions ofthe 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, representa­ tions, arts and performance. The complexities of urban Asia, its elites, its political rituals, and its families will also be explored.
