This book was released on 2008-01-01 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hong Kong is frequently acclaimed as being the most open and business user-friendly environment in the world. However, it is often forgotten or overlooked that this paragon of capitalism is founded, and indeed underpinned, by a socialist leasehold land tenure system. As the government is landlord to virtually all land, it plays a pivotal role in the administration of this scarce and therefore valuable resource. The purpose of this book is to explain both the historical development and the current practice of land administration.Since publication of the book in 1998, it has been welcomed by students and practitioners of surveying, architecture, planning and law, and also by the wider business and financial community. In this second edition, the text has been thoroughly updated and should continue to be equally useful and popular.

Book excerpt: (Uncorrected OCR) Abstract of thesis entitled GOVERNANCE OF RESIDENTIAL LAND USE PLANNING IN HONG KONG Submitted by Wan Yim King Penny for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the University of Hong Kong In August, 2005 The perspective of "governance" has emerged as a powerful analytical concept in urban studies since the 1980s (Jessop, 1995; Pierre, 1999). This development was caused by the recognition of the failure of many governments, because of changing socio-economic and political circumstances, to alone steer urban decision-making as they traditionally did. To enable the governments to make and implement urban decisions more effectively, governments had been urged to adopt new ruling strategies. This global shift in the governance structure also seemed applicable to Hong Kong's land use planning. Since the 1990s, the elitist-led mode of residential land use planning practice has been intensely challenged by the community. A shift in the planning approach was, therefore, conceived (Planning Department, 2001a). Given this background, this study aimed to analyze the mode of governance of planning for residential land use in Hong Kong from the period of 1990 to 2000. It identified the mode of governance, investigated whether there were any shifts in the mode of governance, and explored the factors leading to the shifts. To address these issues, the three processes involved in the supply of housing in Hong Kong, namely, planning applications, district planning associated with harbour reclamation, and urban redevelopment, were investigated. This study argued that before the year of 1999, Hong Kong's residential land use practice was elitist-led, iii dominated by the Town Planning Board and government officials. This elitist mode of governance was partly due to the government's interest in incorporating elites, who held similar interests, into the major decision-making bodies to facilitate the implementation of public policies. It was also partly due to the governm.

Download or read book Zoning and Property Rights 2nd edition written by Lawrence Wai-chung Lai and published by Hong Kong University Press. This book was released on 1998-04-01 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author combines the unique multidisciplinary backgrounds of an academic, a political scientist, a lawyer and an urban planner to provide the reader with a novel and challenging discussion about the economic nature of land use zoning. Besides establishing a coherent framework for zoning based on the Coasian property rights paradigm, the book offers the reader several up-to-date case studies, including the government role in assigning exclusive property rights via marine fish culture zoning in Hong Kong. The observations provided in the case studies make a valuable contribution to the reader's knowledge of both the effects of zoning systems and the value of the property rights framework for analysis. They also have important implications for future town planning exercises. Lawrence Lai has been a Lecturer in economics in the Department of Surveying at the University of Hong Kong since 1989. His research interests are property rights analyses in respect of politics, urban planning and environment. This book will be of value to students working in a wide range of subjects, including the building environment and economics, as well as property professionals and environmental planners.
