Ms. WONG thanked the WTSDC for allowing the Environmental Bureau (ENB) and EPD to attend the meeting. She said that the progress of the Government’s environmental protection initiatives would be presented afterwards and Members were invited to give views on those initiatives. She briefed the meeting on the work progress in respect of the currently most challenging environmental protection issues - solid waste treatment and air quality management, which were consolidated as below: (i) The Trend of Solid Waste Loads in Hong Kong In the past five years, our local population had increased by about 3% and our gross domestic product rose by 28%. It showed that our economy was buoyant and growing rapidly. During the same period, the total volume of waste received by landfills had climbed up by 7.3% and the growth was mild when compared with that of the gross domestic product. The waste received by the landfills included domestic wastes, construction wastes and special wastes. The former, which was closely related to the daily life of our people, had increased by about 6% in the past five years, i.e., an annual increase of about 1 - 2 % on average. As Hong Kong had a huge population but with limited space, such increase in the waste volume had posed a huge pressure on waste treatment. Therefore, the Bureau had all along been making keen efforts in promoting waste reduction among the community and conducting timely review on the waste treatment facilities to ensure that the hygiene requirements were met. [20](1)4_DC[M19](2014.11.4)-e 4 (ii) “Hong Kong Blueprint for Sustainable Use of Resources 2013- 2022” For years, the Government had been taking a multi-pronged approach in waste management, including, reduction of wastes, promotion on waste separation for recycling, and timely introduction of modern waste treatment facilities. In the “Hong Kong Blueprint for Sustainable Use of Resources 2013-2022” (the Blueprint) issued by the current-term Government, it was pointed out that the waste materials were also kinds of resources and could be reused after appropriate treatment. It entailed the idea of sustainable development and effective use of precious and finite resources. The Blueprint set out the target of reducing waste disposal rate by 40% within the coming decade. There was a close relationship between waste loads and our daily living activities (including commercial activities), and waste reduction meant costs and expenses reduction. To effectively achieve the waste reduction target, mobilisation of the community as well as public education and publicity efforts were very important. The Bureau was very grateful to the WTSDC, an important partner of the Bureau, for giving out its assistance in promoting waste reduction and encouraging waste recycling. The Government had also formulated policies under which economic incentives were provided and provisions governing behaviour were set out, with a view to arousing public awareness of waste production. On treatment facilities, Hong Kong’s municipal solid waste was currently handled by landfilling. There were also special facilities in place to handle special wastes, for example, the Chemical Waste Treatment Centre in Tsing Yi specialized in chemical and clinical wastes treatment. In the planning process, the Government aimed at enhancing the capacity of the landfills through expanding their sizes. It also intended to introduce modern waste management facilities with waste-to-energy technology for actualising the concept of resources recycling. Among those facilities, for example, the integrated waste management facility would generate electricity by using the heat energy produced (i.e. through incineration) in the course of waste treatment.

  • I Am Sorry. Would Members Please Deal with One Piece of Business. It Is Now Eight O’Clock and Under Standing Order 8(2) This Council Should Now Adjourn
    4920 HONG KONG LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL ― 29 June 1994 8.00 pm PRESIDENT: I am sorry. Would Members please deal with one piece of business. It is now eight o’clock and under Standing Order 8(2) this Council should now adjourn. ATTORNEY GENERAL: Mr President, with your consent, I move that Standing Order 8(2) should be suspended so as to allow the Council’s business this evening to be concluded. Question proposed, put and agreed to. Council went into Committee. CHAIRMAN: Council is now in Committee and is suspended until 15 minutes to nine o’clock. 8.56 pm CHAIRMAN: Committee will now resume. MR MARTIN LEE (in Cantonese): Mr Chairman, thank you for adjourning the debate on my motion so that Members could have a supper break. I hope I can secure a greater chance of success if they listen to my speech after dining. Mr Chairman, on behalf of the United Democrats of Hong Kong (UDHK), I move the amendments to clause 22 except item 12 of schedule 2. The amendments have already been set out under my name in the paper circulated to Members. Mr Chairman, before I make my speech, I would like to raise a point concerning Mr Jimmy McGREGOR because he was quite upset when he heard my previous speech. He hoped that I could clarify one point. In fact, I did not mean that all the people in the commercial sector had not supported democracy. If all the voters in the commercial sector had not supported democracy, Mr Jimmy McGREGOR would not have been returned in the 1988 and 1991 elections.

Devolution of powers to local governments is the most sweeping reform in governance worldwide, particularly over the past two decades. Yet, compared to reforms in liberalization of markets and removal of trade barriers, it is rarely in the public eye. Local government design presents a host of unique challenges to policy makers. The building blocks of good local governance are many, not least an effective approach to ensure that women and marginalized groups are true partners. These systems ought to go beyond merely providing an opportunity for the voices of poor and marginalized to be heard, but must pro-actively encourage them to do so. Enabling large numbers of ordinary people to compete in elections ought to irreversibly strengthen the foundations of democracy and constitutes the best antidote to the increasing tendency to show disinterest in government.

  • Urban Forms and the Politics of Property in Colonial Hong Kong By
    Speculative Modern: Urban Forms and the Politics of Property in Colonial Hong Kong by Cecilia Louise Chu A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Architecture in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Nezar AlSayyad, Chair Professor C. 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.

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 objectives of the study were: to make a clear assessment of community needs for cultural and performance facilities at the regional and district level to identify facility requirements in light of these needs to review and redefine the roles of existing cultural and performance venues and make recommendations for the rationalisation of provision if necessary in the form of a Rationalisation Plan to identify requirements for additional new regional and district cultural and performance facilities if necessary in the form of a Strategy for New Facilities Provision to recommend an effective means of implementation, including private sector involvement. It should be noted that the Rationalisation Plan and Strategy for New Facilities Provision are consultants’ independent recommendations rather than current policy commitments of the Government. The implementation of the consultants’ recommendations will be subject to government decision. The Study was divided into four stages. They were: Stage 1: Background Studies Stage 2: An Assessment of Community Needs for Regional / District Cultural Facilities Stage 3: A Rationalisation Plan for Existing Regional / District Cultural Facilities Stage 4: A Strategy Plan for New Regional / District Cultural Facilities. 1 Consultancy Study on the Provision of Regional / District Cultural and Performance Facilities in Hong Kong Executive Summary 1.2 BACKGROUND STUDIES Background studies were undertaken which covered six research task areas: 1.2.1 Policy Directions and Issues – The Changing Context A review of Hong Kong and overseas literature and policies on arts development and cultural facilities policy was carried out.
