    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Carolina Digital Repository CESSION AND RETREAT: NEGOTIATING HONG KONG’S FUTURE, 1979-1984 By Rebekah C. 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.

    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.

Lai ** Mark Hansley Chua *Professor Ronald Coase Centre for Property Rights Research, Department of Real Estate & Construction University of Hong Kong Registered Professional Planner, F.R.I.C.S., M.R.A.P.I. [email protected] ** Doctoral candidate Department of Real Estate & Construction University of Hong Kong [email protected] [email protected] 1 Manuscript for Planning Perspective The History of Planning for Kowloon City Lawrence W.C. Lai and Mark H. Chua University of Hong Kong 5 March 2017 Keywords Kowloon City, city of darkness, town plans, history of planning Abstract This short paper identifies from archival and published materials plans for a place called Kowloon City which had an Imperial Chinese military purpose and is now a public park (officially called “Kowloon Walled City Park”) after a long period of dispute over its jurisdiction. These plans were mostly produced by the colonial Hong Kong government who made the first planned attempt to clear the place of Chinese residents for a public garden in the 1930s but this garden could only be built after the 1984 Sino-British Joint Declaration. They testified to the fact that the City has always been planned. Introduction The disclosure of formerly secret and confidential colonial Hong Kong government documents to the public has stimulated research on the mapping and planning of use of a famous place in Hong Kong called “Kowloon City”1 (hereafter referred to as the City), as can be found in the works of Lai et al.

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.
