  • Note for Public Works Subcommittee of Finance Committee
    For information PWSCI(2011-12)8 NOTE FOR PUBLIC WORKS SUBCOMMITTEE OF FINANCE COMMITTEE Forecast of submissions for the 2011-12 Legislative Council session This note gives an overview of the potential capital works items to be submitted to the Public Works Subcommittee in the 2011-12 Legislative Council session. 2. The pool of items that may be ready for submission to the Public Works Subcommittee before the 2012 summer recess totals 65 as listed in ——— Enclosure 1. To enable Members to have a better understanding of the items, we ——— have provided supplementary information on each item at Enclosure 2 following the same order presented in Enclosure 1. 3. The Administration will try to adhere to the targets as much as possible. However, programme changes arising during the design, statutory gazettal and objections, and consultation stages, etc. are expected. We will account for deviations from the current forecast in a year-end report for Members’ reference. 4. Members are also invited to note that funding under 161DR “Restoration of Shuen Wan Landfill―post-completion environmental monitoring work” for the environmental monitoring work at the Shuen Wan Landfill, which is currently funded under the Capital Works Reserve Fund (CWRF), will lapse in December 2011. With more operational experience gained in landfill management, it has become clearer to the Administration that the post-completion environmental monitoring work involves mainly on-going monitoring of landfill gas and leachate pollution of closed landfills through existing landfill gas and leachate management systems. We therefore consider that the expenditure of the monitoring work is more akin to a recurrent commitment rather than a works project in nature.

  • 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.
