    THE HONGKONG AND SHANGHAI HOTELS, LIMITED 2 March 2016 THE HONGKONG AND SHANGHAI HOTELS, LIMITED CELEBRATES ITS 150th ANNIVERSARY IN 2016 The Hong Kong-based parent company of The Peninsula Hotels, The Peak Tram, Peak Tower and Repulse Bay Complex, celebrates 150 years of tradition well served. HONG KONG 2 March, 2016: The distinguished heritage of The Hongkong and Shanghai Hotels, Limited (HSH) reaches a new milestone today as HSH celebrates its 150th anniversary. Originally incorporated on 2 March 1866 as The Hongkong Hotel Company, Limited, HSH was one of the first companies to be listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange and is currently the oldest registered company on the Hong Kong Companies Registry. For a century and a half, the compelling story of HSH has been closely tied to its city of origin, Hong Kong. Whilst evolving to meet the changing times at home and abroad, HSH has never lost respect for its past and its heritage, and it continually strives to emulate the standards of service and style that earned it the accolade of “The Far East’s leading hotel company”. The concept of “Tradition well served” remains fundamental to HSH’s approach. “Tradition is taking account of a wonderful history, but remembering that everybody today looks to the future. It is important not to forget that the future is built on the past, and we have a great legacy,” said The Hon. Sir Michael Kadoorie, Chairman of HSH. “We believe that our rich history gives us a fuller understanding of our shared identity, culture and values, enabling us to manage change responsibly, to safeguard the best of the past and to keep innovating to meet the demands of the next generation.” Today, the HSH legacy encompasses a diverse portfolio of assets worth HK$44.2 billion1 including ten Peninsula Hotels around the world, The Peak Tram, The Peak Tower and The Repulse Bay Complex in Hong Kong.

Source: Stanley_Wong < http://www. flickr.com/photos/stanley-wong/4982125563/> 3 [PREFACE] When I started my Master of Urban & Regional Planning at Utrecht University in September 2011, I had no idea that I’d be finishing my thesis about harbour reclamation in Hong Kong exactly one year later. In fact, I was gearing up for a master thesis about a planning subject in The Netherlands, combined with an internship at a municipality or private company. But then, after just one week of lectures, something special came along; I was introduced to the RESPACE project 2011, taking place in Hong Kong. I had heard about this research project before. A small group of students would, together with project coordinator and Utrecht University teacher dr. Bart Wissink, visit an Asian city to research these changing urban environments. This year, the focus would be on urban conflicts in Hong Kong and 5 students would be able to enrol. Such a research project would fit perfectly with what I was and still am interested in; con- temporary issues in large urban areas, urban planning’s increasing difficulty to deal with a fast-changing civil society and the extremely fast growth of Asian cities.

The success of Jardine Matheson has been due in no small part to its unique character, which to this day clearly reflects many of the personal traits of the founders. Not only did the two founding Scotsmen, one highlander and one lowlander, instil an enterprising spirit into their newly created trading venture in 1832, but also qualities such as a strong work ethic, an independent spirit, financial prudence, business foresight, determination and the understanding of the need to build strong relationships in business. Over the years, these qualities have helped those working for Jardines overcome many challenges and consolidate its position in Asia. There has been a constant evolution in the nature of the business interests of Jardine Matheson, or ‘the Firm’ as it has been affectionately known for most of its existence. Its business activities have kept pace with the times during its long history as new opportunities were sought when the profitability of older ventures waned. Today, Jardines’ businesses are at the forefront of their chosen markets. They include property investment and development, luxury hotels, retail, motor vehicles, financial services and insurance, engineering and construction, agribusiness, mining, restaurants and IT services.
