There are five parks on Hong Kong Island and Hong Kong Park Physical Setting is the third largest. (Victoria Park in Causeway One of the main reasons why the CGO are Bay is 19ha and Quarry Bay Park is 9.79ha, significant is their setting within an open green while Hong Kong Park is 8ha).

The last of these is one of the tallest Central. The Cathedral compound can be used in Hong Kong at 1,209ft and seventy storeys1, as a quiet place to sit and rest. The CGO itself which dwarfs the CGO’s seven storeys. The must be a pleasant area in which to work as CGO are therefore an unusual low rise survival it provides a quiet oasis in the middle of the in Central. city with gardens shaded by trees to the north of the Central Wing. Five of these trees are protected on the Register of Old and Valuable Trees because of their large size or outstanding form. The Burmese Rosewood in the central courtyard is also on the Register because of its historical significance. Norman Foster’s HSBC building as seen from the CGO compound The buildings are set within one of the few ‘green lungs’ in Hong Kong; an area which extends from Ice House Street, up to the Zoological and Botanical Gardens and over to the east to Hong Kong Park. The Gardens and Park comprise over 13 hectares of green space in addition to the green areas around Government House and the CGO. This constitutes a significant part The Burmese Rosewood in the CGO courtyard 1 Bank of China Tower, accessed 09/03/09 Historic and Architectural Appraisal, September 2009 107 The CGO’s physical setting is significant as it is located near to several of Hong Kong’s most important historic buildings and also some of its most iconic modern buildings. Also very significant is the location of the CGO within one of the largest ‘green lungs’ in the city. The complex and surrounding area is partly open to the public and is an oasis in the busy urban environment. Views The CGO’s low height is significant as it does not adversely affect the setting of the surrounding area. During the development of the proposals The CGO are partly screened by the trees. for the CGO in the 1950s there was much Old Hall is on the left. discussion about the height of the buildings and The low height of the CGO here would mean their appearance from Government House (see that Government House and its gardens are not section 2.4.7, p.80). Photographs were created in the shadow of tall buildings and therefore showing the extent of the view of the harbour have plenty of light. From behind Government behind the new buildings, which at that time was House, on Upper Albert Road, the CGO are not still substantial. During the 1930s concerns had visible as the house blocks the view. From the also raised about the intensity of the proposed Zoological gardens behind Government House developments and how they would affect the the views of the CGO are also mainly obscured site. The issue of how the CGO buildings would by trees. affect the views was obviously a prime concern when they were first proposed. One of the features of the Hong Kong Park is a thirty metre Vantage Point tower which offers The view of the harbour, of course, has long panoramic views of the city, including the since disappeared. Very soon after the CGO area over towards the CGO. From the tower were constructed other taller modern buildings the south side of the East Wing and the east were springing up along the shoreline.

This protects the historic buildings and softens the potential impact that the CGO buildings could have on them. It was not possible to gain access to the north lawn of Government House to assess the view of the CGO from there. The CGO will certainly make up a substantial part of the view towards the harbour but, of course, the skyscrapers behind the CGO block this view now. The focus of the view is changed from the original view when the GCO were first constructed. The view from the vantage point tower in the park. 108 Central Government Offices it are several historically significant buildings, including Government House and the former French Mission Building. St. John’s Cathedral adds to this history leading some to describe Government Hill as “perhaps Hong Kong’s last remaining real heritage precinct”3. Since the beginning of the British colony the area that is now Central District has been the heart of the settlement. Other historic buildings from the colonial era survive but the desire for more commercial and business premises in the centre of the city has lead to the demolition of many important buildings, such as the old City Hall which was replaced by the first HSBC building in 1933. The survival of these The view from the Peak with the CGO towards the buildings is therefore important to Hong Kong’s right of the image heritage and this has been recognised by their Park surrounding the tower all constitute the designation as Declared Monuments. ‘green lung’ discussed above.

Government House and the tower of St. John’s Cathedral can also be seen from the Peak. The CGO’s low height is significant because it was consciously designed to protect the view from Government House. It is also significant that the open space around the CGO allows the buildings to be viewed from vantage points at the Hong Kong Park and the Peak.

Mr Stewart will discuss the advantages and disadvantages of using a trust to own the family business and some of the critical tasks that a family needs to engage in. Trusts are often marketed in Asia as a succession planning device, and as a tool that can help keep wealth in a family for more than three generations. Clearly there are certain benefits of using a trust structure that tax and trust advisers can articulate for their clients. There is an often quoted statistic that only one third of family owned businesses will make it into the second-generation and something like a 10% chance of survival into the third generation. The theory of family owned businesses helps to explain these statistics by reference to a “three circle model”, which says that a family owned business is made up of three overlapping systems.

Hidden Cities: Reinventing The Non-Space Between Street And Subway Abstract The connections leading to underground transit lines have not received the attention given to public spaces above ground. Considered to be merely infrastructure, the design and planning of these underground passageways has been dominated by engineering and capital investment principles, with little attention to place-making. This underground transportation area, often dismissed as “non-space,” is a by-product of high-density transit-oriented development, and becomes increasingly valuable and complex as cities become larger and denser. This dissertation explores the design of five of these hidden cities where there has been a serious effort to make them into desirable public spaces. Over thirty-two million urbanites navigate these underground labyrinths in New York City, Hong Kong, London, Moscow, and Paris every day. These in-between spaces have evolved from simple stairwells to networked corridors, to transit concourses, to transit malls, and to the financial engines for affordable public transit.
