The University of Hong Kong Master of Social Sciences in Media, Culture and Creative Cities Kowloon East Then and Now: SOCI8030 Capstone Project Cheng Wei Lee 2007014854 Abstract The present research focused on studying the transformation of the industrial areas in Kowloon East. Discourse analysis is used to study the negotiation among the values identified in the context of heritage conservation, urban development and architectural production, explaining why there are conflicts between the Government officials and the local community when executing the scheme of “Energizing Kowloon East”. Results indicated that there have been misunderstanding between the two parties in conceptual level and also in execution, Kowloon East’s potential is far beyond a Central Business District (CBD). Thus, proper and effective public engagement is key. This research also gathered some recommendations for improvement on current policy and explored different modes of governance. Hopefully this will give some insights to the Government for further development especially for regenerating industrial heritage sites. i Acknowledgements Upon the completion of this capstone project, I would like to express my greatest gratitude to those who have given me their support and encouragement during the whole research process. First and foremost, I would like my express my sincerest appreciation to Dr. C.H. Ng, my supervisor, for his invaluable inspiration, patience, immense knowledge and positive energy. His guidance assisted me throughout the whole research and writing of this final report. He always brought me back to the right track when I felt lost. I could not have imagined having a better mentor for my capstone project. My sincere thanks also go to my community partner, Hulu Culture, especially Simon, Daniel and Shun for their precious time, their aid in aligning me with the interviewees and provision of information during the study. I am grateful to all my teachers, Dr. Travis Kong, Prof. Tai-Lok Lui, Dr. Shing Au-Yeung, Dr. Tommy Tse and Dr. Gary Wong, for teaching me the theories and knowledge on the sociology aspects of media, culture and creative cities. Without which, it would not be possible for me to conduct this research. Next, I would also like to thank my fellow MCCC classmates for the enlightening discussions and for the many midnights we have been working together before deadlines and all the encouragement, and for the fun we had shared in the last two years. Last but not least, I would like to thank my family, colleagues and friends for their support and encouragement, which fueled me up to overcome all the challenges in doing this research and in my academic life. ii Contents Abstract ......................................................................................................... i Acknowledgements ..................................................................................... ii Contents ...................................................................................................... iii Introduction .................................................................................................. 1 Literature Review ......................................................................................... 3 Theories .............................................................................................................. 3 On urban regeneration ..................................................................................... 3 On industrial heritage and industrial heritage sites ........................................... 3 More about Kowloon East and its Progress of Urban Regeneration ............. 4 The rise and fall of industrialism in Kowloon East ............................................. 4 The evolving of creative clusters in Kowloon East (1980s-Present) .................. 5 Problems with the current usage of industrial buildings .................................... 6 Energizing Kowloon East ................................................................................. 6 The conflicts between KEKO and the local community ..................................... 9 Methodology ............................................................................................... 11 Research Approach ......................................................................................... 11 Sampling .......................................................................................................... 11 Data Collection Procedures and Analysis...................................................... 12 Findings ...................................................................................................... 13 Under the literal framework ............................................................................. 13 Kowloon East in the discourse of heritage conservation ................................. 14 Kowloon East in the discourse of urban development .................................... 16 Kowloon East in the discourse of architecture production .............................. 17 Beyond the literal framework .......................................................................... 18 Kowloon East in the discourse of mode of governance .................................. 18 Kowloon East in the discourse of policy recommendation .............................. 19 Kowloon East in the discourse of social missions ........................................... 20 iii Analysis ...................................................................................................... 22 In the conceptual level ................................................................................... 22 In execution ................................................................................................... 23 Points to note ................................................................................................. 24 Further Discussions .................................................................................. 25 Policy Recommendations ............................................................................... 25 On laws and regulations ................................................................................. 25 On public engagement ................................................................................... 25 On diversity .................................................................................................... 26 Mode of governance ........................................................................................ 26 No policy is the best policy?

The opening up of China in the early 1970s caused many factories migrated to the Mainland China for cheaper resources. That called the end of the heydays of manufacturing industry in Hong Kong. Since then, many factories were vacated and some transformed to be storage places. These physical remains and residue of industrialism formed a large area of industrial heritage sites in Kowloon East. In early 2000s, some theatre groups and artists saw their opportunity there. Because of the low rent, that district has gradually become a hub for art and cultural happenings. However there are many grey areas in legal issues concerning the non-manufacturing use of industrial buildings. Therefore, in 2009 and in the policy address of 2011-12, the HKSAR Government proposed new policies for revitalizing old factory buildings and proposed a set of urban regeneration plan on Energizing Kowloon East respectively to help with the situation. However, the above policies seem to have changed the ecology there. Some people said they encouraged gentrification while some people said they stimulated more flow of the people, and some said

Cockram Senior Honors Thesis Department of History University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill 24 April 2018 Approved: Dr. Michael Morgan, Advisor Dr. Michael Tsin, Reader ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The guidance and support of numerous professors and friends made this project possible. Dr. Michael Morgan offered many hours of support during the conceptualization, development and execution of this project. He pushed me to distill my ideas, interpret my sources using different perspectives and provided constructive feedback on my arguments. I am also grateful for Dr. Michael Tsin for his openness to working with me on my project and for our many conversations about Hong Kong and Asia through the Phillips’ Ambassador Program. His unique insight illuminated different possibilities for this project in the future and challenged me to think harder about the different assumptions the British actors in my essay were making. I am also indebted to Dr. Kathleen DuVal for advising the history thesis seminar and offering enlightening feedback on my chapters. She encouraged me to write my paper in a way that combined rigor of analysis with a smooth and compelling narrative. I am also grateful to my generous and attentive editor, Brian Shields, and to my wonderful family who supported me throughout the project. Research for this article was funded by the Morehead-Cain Foundation and the Tom and Elizabeth Long Excellence Award administered by Honors Carolina.

  • Views on Women in the Cities of Asia: Migration and Urban Adaptation, James T
    INFORMATION TO USERS This reproduction was made from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced tec lino logy has been used to photograph and reproduce this document, the quality of the reproduction is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help clarify markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or “target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is “ Missing Pagets)” . If it was possible to obtain the missing pagets) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure complete continuity. 2 . When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark, it is an indication of either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, duplicate copy, or copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed. For blurred pages, a good image o f the page can be found in the adjacent frame. If copyrighted materials were deleted, a target note will appear listing the pages in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photographed, a definite method of “sectioning” the material has been followed. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand corner o f a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete.
