K.K.S. Ho Chief Geotechnical Engineer/LPM Division 1 - 5 - ABSTRACT This report presents a summary of the factual information on rainfall and landslides in Hong Kong throughout 2005. Rainfall information was obtained from the Hong Kong Observatory (HKO) to supplement the information available in the Geotechnical Engineering Office (GEO). Details of the landslides were obtained from the records of incidents reported to the GEO. Supplementary information was provided by the Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department, Architectural Services Department, Drainage Services Department, Fire Services Department, Highways Department, Housing Department, Lands Department, Water Supplies Department and the GEO’s landslide investigation consultants, namely Fugro Scott Wilson Joint Venture and Maunsell Geotechnical Services Limited. Rainfall at the HKO’s Principal Raingauge at Tsim Sha Tsui in 2005 amounted to 3214.5 mm, which was about 45.2% above the mean rainfall of 2214 mm recorded between 1961 and 1990. It was the third wettest year in Hong Kong since records began in 1884, and June and August 2005 was the fourth and the second wettest months respectively. The rainfall in these two months (1865.2 mm) amounted to about 84% of the normal annual rainfall. One Red Rainstorm Warning was issued on 24 June 2005, and 16 Amber Rainstorm Warnings were issued between 8 May 2005 and 20 August 2005. Two Landslip Warnings were issued on 24 June 2005 and 19 August 2005 respectively. A total of 487 incidents that occurred in 2005 were reported to the Government. Of these, 481 were classified as genuine landslides. Of the 481 genuine landslides, 82 were major failures (i.e. with a failure volume of 50 m3 or more, or where a fatality has occurred). One fatality was reported as a result of a landslide incident. Other notable consequences of the landslides included the evacuation of 42 squatter dwellings and 12 buildings. Sixty-two landslides resulted in the temporary closure of sections of roads and another 46 landslides resulted in the temporary closure of sections of pedestrian pavements, footpaths or other forms of minor access. Thirty-nine landslides affected catchwaters, two of which had significant knock-on effects on existing developments, resulting in serious consequences. - 6 - CONTENTS Page No. Title Page 1 PREFACE 3 FOREWORD 4 ABSTRACT 5 CONTENTS 6 1.

    Chapter 2 Quality City and Quality Life

    Chapter 2 Quality City And Quality Life Preamble The development of Hong Kong into a knowledge-based economy requires talent from around the world, and a quality city life is essential to attracting talent. The concept of “Progressive Development” advocated by the Chief Executive is to develop a quality city life by striking a balance between economic development and environmental protection and conservation. In the arena of environmental protection, we launched a basket of new initiatives in areas such as air quality improvement, waste management and promoting a low-carbon economy and lifestyle. Environmental protection is a long-term and continuing commitment. The Government will continue to promote regional co-operation to improve air quality within the region, and to develop the PRD Region into a green and quality living area. Global warming is an international concern. We will meet the challenge of climate change with early planning. In particular, we will enhance energy effi ciency and promote a low carbon economy — an economy based on low energy consumption and low pollution. Moreover, we will strengthen our cultural software, develop our audience base, and support more small and medium arts groups to tie in with the development of the West Kowloon Cultural District, which is proceeding as planned. 28 Quality City And Quality Life We will also continue our efforts to beautify the shoreline of Victoria Harbour by turning it into a landmark to be enjoyed by locals and visitors alike. 29 Quality City And Quality Life New Initiatives We will: • Oversee the progressive launch of digital audio broadcasting services by three commercial licensees and Radio Television Hong Kong as from late 2011/early 2012.

    Circulation Paper C & W FEHWC Paper No. 80/2019 Food and Environmental Hygiene Department Anti-mosquito Campaign 2019 (Phase III) in Central / Western District Purpose To brief Members on the arrangements and details for the Anti-mosquito Campaign 2019 (Phase III) to be launched by the Food and Environmental Hygiene Department (FEHD) in Central / Western District. Background 2. The Anti-mosquito Campaign 2019 (Phase II) organized by FEHD was launched between 15.4.2019 and 14.6.2019. Actions taken in the district and the results are detailed at Annex I. 3. In 2018, there were 29 local and 134 imported dengue fever cases, 2 imported chikungunya fever cases in Hong Kong. No Zika virus infection case and Japanese encephalitis cases were reported 4. Dengue fever (DF) is an important mosquito-borne disease with public health concern worldwide, especially in the tropics and sub-tropics. The dengue viruses encompass four different serotypes. Dengue infection has a wide spectrum of clinical manifestations and outcomes. The disease is usually mild and self-limiting, but subsequent infections with other serotypes of dengue virus are more likely to result in severe dengue, which can be fatal. DF is not directly transmitted from person to person. It is transmitted to humans through the bites of infective female Aedes mosquitoes. Patients with DF are infective to mosquitoes during the febrile period. When a patient suffering from DF is bitten by a vector mosquito, the mosquito is infected and it may spread the disease by biting other people. DF can spread rapidly in - 1 - densely populated areas that are infested with the vectors Aedes aegypti or Aedes albopictus.

Greig Crysler Professor Eugene F. Irschick Spring 2012 Speculative Modern: Urban Forms and the Politics of Property in Colonial Hong Kong Copyright 2012 by Cecilia Louise Chu 1 Abstract Speculative Modern: Urban Forms and the Politics of Property in Colonial Hong Kong Cecilia Louise Chu Doctor of Philosophy in Architecture University of California, Berkeley Professor Nezar AlSayyad, Chair This dissertation traces the genealogy of property development and emergence of an urban milieu in Hong Kong between the 1870s and mid 1930s. This is a period that saw the transition of colonial rule from one that relied heavily on coercion to one that was increasingly “civil,” in the sense that a growing number of native Chinese came to willingly abide by, if not whole-heartedly accept, the rules and regulations of the colonial state whilst becoming more assertive in exercising their rights under the rule of law. Long hailed for its laissez-faire credentials and market freedom, Hong Kong offers a unique context to study what I call “speculative urbanism,” wherein the colonial government’s heavy reliance on generating revenue from private property supported a lucrative housing market that enriched a large number of native property owners. Although resenting the discrimination they encountered in the colonial territory, they were able to accumulate economic and social capital by working within and around the colonial regulatory system.
