Urban Integration & Mass Transit Development in High Density Older
URBD 5710 – Urban Design Studio 1 (Govada, Lau, Paetzold) 27 July 2015 URBAN INTEGRATION & MASS TRANSIT DEVELOPMENT IN HIGH DENSITY OLDER URBAN DISTRICTS: WESTERN DISTRICT, HONG KONG 2015-16 1st Term, Mondays & Thursdays 1.30 – 6.15 pm Instructors: Sujata S. GOVADA (CHEN Yong Ming - Teaching Assistant) M.SC. (URBAN DESIGN) × CUHK Hong Kong is a strategically located, compact city known for its high density development on either side of Victoria harbour with its mountain backdrop, very accessible by its world famous public transit system. It is one of the potential models studied for a more sustainable development of cities in Asia and the region. The attraction of the Hong Kong model is based on its highly compact urban areas, their efficient connection by public transport networks and the con- servation of large land resources as country parks. A central question which policy makers, planners and designers face when considering high-density cities is how livable, walkable and sustainable these cities are and, under conditions of extreme density, how a positive living quality can be achieved. This question is crucial as it is linked with costly and con- troversial long term decisions such as the change of established land use plans, controversial building height restrictions and public space guidelines, as well as plans for urban renewal and new development areas. The views on Hong Kong as a model are strongly divided and reflect contrasting experiences of the city as well as its conflicting values. The 2011 Mercer Quality of Living Survey ranked the Chinese Special Administrative Region on place 70, far behind Vienna (1), Zurich (2), and its main Asian competitor Singapore (25).

When Is the Best Time to Go to Hong Kong?
Page 1 of 98 Chris’ Copyrights @ 2011 When Is The Best Time To Go To Hong Kong? Winter Season (December - March) is the most relaxing and comfortable time to go to Hong Kong but besides the weather, there's little else to do since the "Sale Season" occurs during Summer. There are some sales during Christmas & Chinese New Year but 90% of the clothes are for winter. Hong Kong can get very foggy during winter, as such, visit to the Peak is a hit-or-miss affair. A foggy bird's eye view of HK isn't really nice. Summer Season (May - October) is similar to Manila's weather, very hot but moving around in Hong Kong can get extra uncomfortable because of the high humidity which gives the "sticky" feeling. Hong Kong's rainy season also falls on their summer, July & August has the highest rainfall count and the typhoons also arrive in these months. The Sale / Shopping Festival is from the start of July to the start of September. If the sky is clear, the view from the Peak is great. Avoid going to Hong Kong when there are large-scale exhibitions or ongoing tournaments like the Hong Kong Sevens Rugby Tournament because hotel prices will be significantly higher. CUSTOMS & DUTY FREE ALLOWANCES & RESTRICTIONS • Currency - No restrictions • Tobacco - 19 cigarettes or 1 cigar or 25 grams of other manufactured tobacco • Liquor - 1 bottle of wine or spirits • Perfume - 60ml of perfume & 250 ml of eau de toilette • Cameras - No restrictions • Film - Reasonable for personal use • Gifts - Reasonable amount • Agricultural Items - Refer to consulate Note: • If arriving from Macau, duty-free imports for Macau residents are limited to half the above cigarette, cigar & tobacco allowance • Aircraft crew & passengers in direct transit via Hong Kong are limited to 20 cigarettes or 57 grams of pipe tobacco.
