Elevated walkways across Harcourt Road and Tim Mei Avenue gazetted ********************************************************* The Government published a notice in the Gazette today (November 28) on a proposal to construct two elevated walkways across Harcourt Road and Tim Mei Avenue to meet the future pedestrian demand arising from the Tamar Development Project. Proposed works include an elevated walkway across Harcourt Road connecting Tamar and the footpath adjacent to Admiralty Centre, consisting of a western walkway approximately 5 metres wide and an eastern covered walkway approximately 8 metres wide. The works also involve building a covered elevated walkway approximately 6.5 metres wide across Tim Mei Avenue to connect Tamar and the existing Citic Tower Elevated Walkway System; provision of escalators, staircase and lifts associated with the proposed elevated walkways; and ancillary works such as drainage, landscaping and utility works. Some sections of the existing carriageways, footpaths and amenity areas will be temporarily or permanently closed and reconstructed. The plan and scheme of the works are available for public inspection at the following government offices during office hours: (i) Central and Western District Office, Public Enquiry Service Centre, Unit 5, Ground Floor, The Center, 99 Queen's Road Central; and (ii) District Lands Office, Hong Kong West and South, 20th Floor, Southorn Centre, 130-150 Hennessy Road, Wan Chai. Any person who wishes to object to the proposed works or the use, or both, should write to the Secretary for Transport and Housing, 16th Floor, Murray Building, Garden Road, Hong Kong, on or before January 27, 2009. Ends/Friday, November 28, 2008 .

We are also pleased to meet relevant officers to further explain the contents therein if necessary. Should further information be required, please kindly contact me or Ms. Cherry Lau, our Administrative Officer at 2235 9057. ____________ ____________ (Joel CHAN) ( P. Y. TAM ) President, HKIUD Chairman, Public Affairs Committee, HKIUD cc: Ms. HO Pui Ling, Doris, JP, Deputy Secretary for Development (Planning & Lands)1, DEVB Miss CHEUNG Man Yee, Rosalind, Prin AS (Harbour), DEVB Mr. Vincent NG, JP, Chairman, Harbourfront Commission Mr. Ivan Ho, HKIUD Representative in Harbrourfront Commission Council and PAC Members Comments of the Public Affairs Committee of HKIUD on Site 3 of the New Central Harbourfront 1. We do not intend to contest the 50:50 split between design and price in the tender process. It is appreciated that the two-envelope approach would take design merit into account, and that Government would only open the price envelopes of those tenders which are found to have sufficient design merit. We do have concern on how the designs are to be evaluated, such as in the marking system and the type of expertise required in the assessment panel.

Social Interactions and the Dynamics of Protest Movements
Persistent Political Engagement: Social Interactions and the Dynamics of Protest Movements Leonardo Bursztyn Davide Cantoni David Y. Yang Noam Yuchtman Y. Jane Zhang* September 2020 Abstract We study the causes of sustained participation in political movements. To identify the per- sistent effect of protest participation, we randomly, indirectly incentivize Hong Kong univer- sity students into participation in an antiauthoritarian protest. To identify the role of social networks, we randomize this treatment’s intensity across major-cohort cells. We find that in- centives to attend one protest within a political movement increase subsequent protest atten- dance, but only when a sufficient fraction of an individual’s social network is also incentivized to attend the initial protest. One-time mobilization shocks have dynamic consequences, with mobilization at the social network level important for sustained political engagement.

Fragments of an Ethnography on Umbrella Revolution
A Tale of Two Societies CHUNG Ho Fung A Tale of Two Societies: Fragments of an Ethnography on Umbrella Revolution CHUNG Ho Fung October 28, 2014. 16:28. In a guerrilla organic farm, Tim Mei Avenue, Admiralty "Why the farming?" "To explore new possibilities to live; our community can sustain itself with farming, our city can sustain itself with farming. (Giggling)Well it is still experimental, still really far away from that." November 25, 2014. 03:00. Defending Mong Kok against the police, Shantung St., Mong Kok "Why do you never ask?" "Because we are in Mong Kok." he replied, smoking a Marlboro BLAST ICE in front of the police. "Because in Mong Kok, nothing has to be asked or answered. We all are here only to defend something important." "Asking questions only makes you a ghost." Herein I started this paper with two extracts from my fieldnotes to illustrate the difference in mentality of the occupiers in Admiralty and Mong Kok. One strange thing about most researches on the Umbrella Revolution or Umbrella Movement is that the authors often build up their analysis on a presumption that Occupy Mong Kok and Occupy Admiralty are of the same Occupy Movement. In terms of composition of class, beliefs, ideologies and imaginations of direct actions, they are not. But let's start with a primary understanding on what occupiers are looking for in this social movement: The Umbrella Revolution is about a collective pursuit on the betterment on the voting system, against the increasing restrictions on civil rights by Hong Kong government (or the Chinese Central Government).

Prospects for Democracy in Hong Kong: the 2017 Election Reforms (Update)
Prospects for Democracy in Hong Kong: The 2017 Election Reforms (Update) Updated July 1, 2015 Congressional Research Service https://crsreports.congress.gov R44031 Prospects for Democracy in Hong Kong: The 2017 Election Reforms (Update) Summary The United States-Hong Kong Policy Act of 1992 (P.L. 102-383) declares that, “Support for democratization is a fundamental principle of U.S. foreign policy. As such, it naturally applies to United States policy toward Hong Kong.” China’s law establishing the Hong Kong Special Administration Region (HKSAR), commonly referred to as the “Basic Law,” declares that “the ultimate aim” is the selection of Hong Kong’s Chief Executive (CE) and Legislative Council (Legco) by universal suffrage. The year 2015 may be a pivotal year for making progress toward the objectives of both of these laws. It could also be a year in which the democratic aspirations of many Hong Kong residents remain unfulfilled. Hong Kong’s current Chief Executive, Leung Chun-ying, initiated a six-step process in July 2014 whereby Hong Kong’s Basic Law could be amended to allow the selection of the Chief Executive by universal suffrage in 2017. On August 31, 2014, China’s National People’s Congress Standing Committee (NPCSC) completed the second step of the reform process when it issued a decision setting comparatively strict conditions on the adoption of universal suffrage for the 2017 CE elections that seemingly preclude the nomination of a pro-democracy candidate. The third step of the process, the CE submitting legislation to Legco to amend the Basic Law, came on June 17.
