The views expressed in this report are those of the authors and do not necessarily represent the opinions of Civic Exchange, Noble Group or the reviewers. Report layout and illustrations by Jonas Chau. Foreword South China, including Hong Kong and Macau, depends on the Pearl River and its tributaries. It is in our interest to protect, restore and sustain these rivers and the watershed as a whole for all times. The other major river systems in China – the Yellow and Yangtze rivers – suffer from severe pollution and over-use. The threats facing the Pearl River, although serious, are of a lower order of magnitude by comparison. It is thus incumbent upon the south to ensure that the key source of life is much better managed. Civic Exchange is grateful to Noble Group for funding this research to focus attention on the Pearl River watershed.

  • 場刊house Programme
    場 刊 House Programme 節目簡介 忘記了 卻不想忘記 那天一覺醒來 一切都去了 倒下來 還是要繼續 高掛高掛高高掛 前進前進前前進 我們其實都很幸福 誰與誰在誰左誰右誰上誰下誰前誰後胡說八道 高舉著掉下來 再高高舉在上 再狠狠地掉下來 迷了 著了迷 被迷着了 在自由的空氣中窒息地呼吸 在框架中閒人在跳舞 被帶到遙遠的國度去 1 節目簡介 我的爺爺是屠夫 在歌唱尖叫狂奔 在希望的門前門後進進出出 出門入門開門關門閂門 人們你們我們 記起來 還是記不起 生下來 還是被生生的生下 門卻仍然關上 還有她他牠的媽的他媽的媽媽 門開了沒有？ 完了還是沒完沒了...... 2 「多空間」 「多空間」於1995年3月由馬才和及嚴明然於香港成立，是一個非牟利的表演 藝術團體。成立宗旨是希望透過舞蹈來開拓表演藝術的可能性、尋找新的舞蹈 語言及演出路向。其作品除糅合不同媒體作創作元素外，更嘗試打破形式的規 限，於劇場內外各種不同空間進行創作及表演，當中包括：即興創作、舞蹈劇 場、環境舞蹈、純舞蹈表演，以至舞蹈影帶製作等。 「多空間」成立至今，其作品曾多次被國際藝術節及藝術機構邀請前往參與表 演及交流。更不斷積極在本地民間推廣舞蹈藝術及透過「Y劇場」開拓另類的 創作和欣賞空間。而多年來，「多空間」除致力將其藝團發展成為一個富本土 文化特色的表演團體外，更積極參與國際間的文化交流活動。 Y-Space Y-Space was founded in 1995 by Victor Choi-wo Ma and Mandy Ming-yin Yim in Hong Kong, with the mission of exploring the infinite possibilities of dance, and searching for new dance idioms and new artistic directions. Y-Space has been invited by international arts festivals and arts organizations to perform and conduct artistic exchange. To date, its Improvisation Land series has reached its 42nd series, while its Dancing All Around series has gone beyond the 10th mark. Since 2009, Y-Space has been hosting the i-Dance HK festival. Now in its 18th year, Y-Space has become an important arts group on the Hong Kong contemporary dance through creating new work, promoting dance and providing training, education and research work through activities conducted at community level and at the Y-Space Dance Studio. 3 導演的話 寫在《門》邊上 田戈兵 2014年的《鐵馬》之後，香港似乎漸行漸遠。 去年在北京遇見馬才和嚴明然夫婦，馬試探我：「願不願在他來年新作 裏做劇場構作？」我很快答應，雖然有這樣那樣的時間問題，但我好奇 這個「不靠譜」的想法。當然，還有一個原因就是想看看四年以後的香 港現況。

  • Memorandum of Understanding on Jointly Developing the Lok Ma
    (English translation) Memorandum of Understanding on Jointly Developing the Lok Ma Chau Loop by Hong Kong and Shenzhen between the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government and the Shenzhen Municipal People’s Government Introduction In order to establish a “Hong Kong/Shenzhen Innovation and Technology Park” (“the Park”) in the Lok Ma Chau Loop (“the Loop”), the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (“HKSAR”) Government and Shenzhen Municipal People’s Government (“both sides”) have agreed to jointly develop the Loop (actual location shown in the attached Plan 1). This Memorandum of Understanding (“the MOU”) is signed by both sides, following friendly negotiations. Background In accordance with Order No. 221 of the State Council of the People’s Republic of China promulgated on 1 July 1997 (the “State Council Order No. 221”), after the training of the Shenzhen River, the boundary will follow the new centre line of the river. The Loop, originally within the administrative boundary of Shenzhen, has since been included within the administrative boundary of the HKSAR. On 25 November 2011, both sides signed the Co-operation Agreement on Jointly Taking Forward the Development of the Lok Ma Chau Loop (“the Co-operation Agreement”). Out of respect for the above historical fact, both sides have agreed to co-operate in taking forward the Loop’s development under the “One Country, Two Systems” principle, and in accordance with the laws of the HKSAR, as well as following the principle of “co-development and mutual benefit”. Both sides subsequently conducted proactive negotiations in accordance with the Co-operation Agreement and reached a consensus to jointly develop the Loop into the Park, construct relevant higher education and complementary facilities in the Park and formulate this MOU.

    Planning Department Agreement No. CE 60/2005 (TP) Land Use Planning for the Closed Area – Feasibility Study Final Report 7 STRATEGIC ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT To examine the future use of areas to be released from the existing Closed Area and put them under planning control, Strategic Environmental Assessment Study (the SEA Study) is conducted to provide strategic and regional environmental information and suggestions to address any potential environmental conditions, so as to achieve sustainable development in the Study Area. The SEA study is not intended to be a project-based study. The purpose of this Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) Report is to evaluate at strategic level the potential landuse environmental impacts, the cumulative environmental impacts and environmental sustainability implications of the planning framework of the Recommended Development Plan (RDP) formulated under the Main Study. Major environmental issues in relation to air quality, noise, water quality, hazard, landfill, waste, ecology and cultural heritage have been evaluated. Environmental mitigation measures to address the impacts and follow-up investigations requirements are recommended together with the policy and institutional framework arrangements, where applicable. Innovative ideas and new technologies that provide an alternative to resolve the existing and potential future environmental problems are also examined. It should also be noted that this Study is a broad brush assessment only and when individual project is implemented, detailed studies and/or assessments shall be carried out by the respective project proponent(s) to evaluate and confirm adequacy and technical feasibility of the recommended environmental mitigation measures and infrastructure facilities. Some of these environmental mitigation measures and infrastructure facilities should also be implemented as recommended prior to population intake of the proposed developments.
