Views on Women in the Cities of Asia: Migration and Urban Adaptation, James T INFORMATION TO USERS This reproduction was made from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced tec lino logy has been used to photograph and reproduce this document, the quality of the reproduction is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help clarify markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or “target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is “ Missing Pagets)” . If it was possible to obtain the missing pagets) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure complete continuity. 2 . When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark, it is an indication of either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, duplicate copy, or copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed. For blurred pages, a good image o f the page can be found in the adjacent frame. If copyrighted materials were deleted, a target note will appear listing the pages in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photographed, a definite method of “sectioning” the material has been followed. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand corner o f a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. For illustrations that cannot be satisfactorily reproduced by xerographic means, photographic prints can be purchased at additional cost and inserted into your xerographic copy. These prints are available upon request from the Dissertations Customer Services Department. 5. Some pages in any document may have indistinct print. In all cases the best available copy has been filmed. University Micrririlms International 300 N. Zeeb Road Ann Arbor.

Randy Smith Dr. H. Yuan Tien Adviser Department of Geography Copyright by Killian Ping-Hung Ying 1985 T o Joan, Gigi, and Samantha ii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I wish to acknowledge the many individuals who have patiently helped and encouraged me in writing this dissertation. Special thanks go to my adviser, Dr. Emilio Casetti, for his five years of guidance, and especially to his extra patience while I rewrote my first draft away from him during the last year. During my study in the Department of Geography at,The Ohio State University, he has not only taught me geography but also philosophy of life. I sincerely thank Dr. H. Yuan Tien for his serving on my dissertation reading committee and his many years of teaching and advice on my study of China's population. Thanks are also extended to Dr. W. Randy Smith for agreeing to serve on my reading committee. My defense would have to be postponed without his participation. I also wish to express my appreciation to Dr. George J. Demko for, in his own words, saving me from being a mechanical projectionist. His advice to me, on my research and everything e 1se, is indispensable. 11 is one of the greatest losses of my life that he was iii unable to attend my defense because of an overseas work assignment with the U.S. Department of State. I would also like to acknowledge Dr. Nina S-N Lam for reading the first draft of my dissertation last year and making many constructive comments. My thanks go to her for helping me on my computer mapping problems. It is unfortunate that she had to be away and was unable to sit in my final oral examination. Others who gave special help are Alton M-H Ying, Stephen S-H Ying, and Carmen C-M Cheng. I am very grate­ ful to them for their unfailing advice and indispensable assistance. Finally, my wife Joan Liu deserves my deepest gratitude. I thank her for her moral support and assis­ tance in typing, computer mapping, cartography, graphics, and many other things; especially for being a caring wife and a super mother. iv VITA November 13, 1953 .

Cockram Senior Honors Thesis Department of History University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill 24 April 2018 Approved: Dr. Michael Morgan, Advisor Dr. Michael Tsin, Reader ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The guidance and support of numerous professors and friends made this project possible. Dr. Michael Morgan offered many hours of support during the conceptualization, development and execution of this project. He pushed me to distill my ideas, interpret my sources using different perspectives and provided constructive feedback on my arguments. I am also grateful for Dr. Michael Tsin for his openness to working with me on my project and for our many conversations about Hong Kong and Asia through the Phillips’ Ambassador Program. His unique insight illuminated different possibilities for this project in the future and challenged me to think harder about the different assumptions the British actors in my essay were making. I am also indebted to Dr. Kathleen DuVal for advising the history thesis seminar and offering enlightening feedback on my chapters. She encouraged me to write my paper in a way that combined rigor of analysis with a smooth and compelling narrative. I am also grateful to my generous and attentive editor, Brian Shields, and to my wonderful family who supported me throughout the project. Research for this article was funded by the Morehead-Cain Foundation and the Tom and Elizabeth Long Excellence Award administered by Honors Carolina.

Yet, the city of Hong Kong has been formed along narrow strips of scarce flat-land around the harbor and from reclamations of land-fills. Urban fabrics are stretched along water edges of the Victoria Harbor with distinct characters. For the rapidly developing cities, these urban fragments are elemental and essential to sustain.

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.
