Future Working Relationship Between the Urban Renewal Authority and the Government
Future Working Relationship between the Urban Renewal Authority and the Government Purpose This paper sets out the future working relationship between the Planning, Environment and Lands Bureau (PELB) and concerned government departments, and the Urban Renewal Authority (URA). Background 2. In his 1999 Policy Address, the Chief Executive announced that a new statutory body, the URA, will be established in 2000 to implement the Government’s urban renewal strategy in the 21st century. The URA will replace the existing Land Development Corporation (LDC) and take over all the assets and liabilities of the LDC, including redevelopment projects in progress, when the URA is set up. 3. The LDC was set up in January 1988 as a statutory body to carry out urban renewal projects. A well-established working relationship between PELB, the Planning Department (PlanD) and the Lands Department (LandsD) has developed over the years to facilitate and speed up LDC’s redevelopment projects. 4. Dedicated urban renewal teams have been set up in PELB (7 posts), PlanD (21 posts) and LandsD (30 posts) to facilitate the work of the LDC and coordinate the duties and responsibilities between the concerned departments. - 2 - Future Working Relationship 5. The existing structure and working relationship will continue after the establishment of the URA. The dedicated teams will remain in PELB, PlanD and LandsD to facilitate the work of the URA. 6. The main tasks of the URA will be: (a) redevelopment of dilapidated buildings (a 20-year urban renewal programme, including 200 priority projects concentrating in 9 urban renewal target areas)(a map showing the 9 target areas is at the Annex); (b) rehabilitation of older buildings within the 9 target areas; and (c) preservation of buildings of historical, cultural or architectural interest in the 9 target areas and other urban redevelopment sites. -

Chairman, Antiquities Advisory Board and Advisory Committee on the Revitalization of Historic Buildings
“Heritage Conservation International Conference” Dec 12-13, 2011 “Conservation and Development – Community Involvement” Bernard Chan Chairman, Antiquities Advisory Board and Advisory Committee on the Revitalization of Historic Buildings Ladies and gentlemen, good morning. Up until a few years ago, it is unlikely that we would be here, at a conference on heritage conservation organized by the Hong Kong Government. The subject was a low priority for the Hong Kong government. And it was simply not a concern for the overwhelming majority of our city’s population. Today, heritage is a hot issue. And what I would like to do this morning is discuss why that is. What has changed? And what does that change mean? My simple answer to the question is that the people of Hong Kong have essentially acquired a new way of thinking about themselves, their city and the government. This is not just about heritage conservation. It applies to a whole range of public policy areas. It is a long-term process, and it is still underway, but it explains a lot about new challenges facing the government in particular, and also the business sector and other groups in the community. So I am going to talk about Hong Kong’s new thinking on heritage. But I want to put this in its broader social, economic and political context. I will start with a bit of history about Hong Kong – about the times when in fact many of our heritage buildings and monuments were built. *** Modern Hong Kong started in 1841, when the British moved in. -

China's United Front Work in Civil Society
International Journal of China StudiesChina’s United Front Work in Civil Society 301 Vol. 4, No. 3, December 2013, pp. 301-325 China’s United Front Work in Civil Society: The Case of Hong Kong+ Wai-man Lam* and Kay Chi-yan Lam** The University of Hong Kong Abstract This article unravels China’s united front work in dealing with civil society, using the case of Hong Kong after the political handover since 1997. While it has been widely analyzed by scholars that state corporatism characterizes the state-society relations in China, including the state’s relations with its autonomous regions, Hong Kong as a special administrative region, however, shows that the ruling strategies of China are very adaptive. Comparing with the rest of China where the united front work is partly characterized by a heavy-handed policy of assimilation, the united front work in the post-handover Hong Kong illustrates a more inclusionary version of state corporatism through five types of measures, namely, integration, cooptation, collaboration, containment, and denunciation. The strategies range from soft to hard tactics, and are adopted depending upon whether the central government regards its targets as friends, valuable potential cooptees or enemies. Nevertheless, the soft and hard tactics used in parallel in Hong Kong have resulted in further politicization and polarization of the civil society, and transformed the tension between the state and the local groups into clashes between different local groups, as seen in other autonomous regions such as Tibet and Xinjiang. Over the years, the agents for state corporatism have been ever expanding in Hong Kong. -
