In terms of the housing sector, the Hong Kong government always plays an important role to maintain the sustainable housing development. Thus, lots of housing policies were introduced in the past several decades. One of them was the Tenants Purchasing Scheme (TPS)released in 1998, which helped the tenants of Public Rental Housing to purchase their flats with a great discount. However, as being blamed by its adverse effect on the housing market, the TPS was suspended in 2002. Since the housing price kept growing in the last several years and the pursuit of home ownership became much more difficult, the feasibility of restarting TPS has been widely discussed. However, the Hong Kong government has clearly stated that it will not be restarted due to limited amount of PRH flats and the large number of applicants in the Waiting List (WL) of PRH. After series of investigation, it is assumed and proved that a new TPS can be an effective way to promote home ownership under Hong Kong's special circumstance. If the payment of land premium is adjusted and more PRH tenants are able to purchase their flats, the conflict between housing supply and housing demand can be lessened. In this way, more citizens are to become property owners and the public housing recourses can be better used.

Abstract: Abstract of thesis entitled "An evaluation of Tenant Purchase Scheme (TPS): The right model towards sustainable housing in Hong Kong through privatization?" Submitted by James SZE Wang-cho (University No. 1990156916) for the degree of Master of Science (Interdisciplinary Design and Management) at The University of Hong Kong in August 2005. Abstract Hong Kong is well-known as a bastion of free market, private enterprise and limited Government, in its land and housing policies. Being the largest land owner and biggest housing unit supplier in the past several decades, the Hong Kong Government is playing an important role towards sustainable housing development. Although the Government always claimed that it pursues a positive non-intervention policy, inevitably it promotes housing policies from time to time, such as the Tenant Purchasing Scheme (TPS), which might have drastic influences on the housing development and may affect the sustainability of Hong Kong society as a whole. In his first policy address, the Chief Executive Tung Chee-hwa made a bold attempt in changing the housing policy to promote home ownership for the well being of the people and maintain the social stability. One of the policies announced following his speech is the Tenant Purchasing Scheme (TPS). The scheme offers the sitting tenants the opportunity to buy their flats at 12% of the estimated full market value. The property market had slumped after the release of the related policy. If the TPS promoted by the Government have played an important role in reducing the existing housing unit transactions and home prices, the TPS can be demonstrated to lead to erosion of wealth and economic inefficiency in the short-term situation. However, the TPS not necessarily failed to fulfill the criteria of sustainable housing development in a long-term situation, namely social, cultural, economic and environmental sustainability. Should this can be proven, the TPS can be considered as a right model to attain sustainable housing development through privatization of the public housing in Hong Kong. Singapore has implemented a similar TPS Scheme for more than 40 years and it is reported that the scheme has succeeded in achieving a sustainable community. Due to their similarity in many aspects as cities, Singaporean's approach towards privatization of public housing will be explored and compared to test if TPS is an appropriate model towards sustainable housing development. Being one of the major models of privatizing the public rental housing, if the relative success and failures of Hong Kong's TPS implementation, both in its content and application, can be demonstrated and measured, its future potential effectiveness in achievable a sustained housing development can also be demonstrated.

To meet the community's expectation, The HK SAR Government launched which believed Tenants Purchase Scheme (TPS) was a solution. Through this scheme, public housing tenants were encouraged to buy their flats in their affording price. In the beginning, it received a very good response and it seemed very optimistic. However, it was severely criticized lately about the estate management and the arguments arc never ended. According to Arnstein's model, the cause might be due to different expectations, role change and participation from various involved parties, including Housing Authority, TPS flat owners and public housing tenants in the TPS estates. Cairneross, Clapham and Goodlad (1997) implied tenant, housing manager and councilor were playing a game under the framework of tenant participation and such game determinate the rules of housing management. Thus, that may apply to the situation happened in TPS. With the vision of living in peace and contentment for TPS residents, this dissertation aims at examining the role changing of residents, from tenant to owner, and the level of resident participation in those TPS estates and eventually to exam how these conflicts occur from such changes. By applying Arnstein's model to investigate the issue, we hope to identify the root cause and provide a light of resolution. To carry out the investigation, documentary review and interviews were conducted to gather information for analysis. Base on the findings with Arnstein's model, this paper concludes that TPS could be a good example to explain Arnstein's ladder of Citizen Participation - The change of role leads to the reallocation of estate management authority. If we can solve the management issues, TPS is a good scheme to help citizens to create comfortable living place. We hope this dissertation can help to provide a light of resolution.

Download or read book The Right to Buy written by Colin Jones and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2008-04-15 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An evaluation of the most enduring privatisation of the Thatcher era ... Written in an accessible style, this is a key reference for students and researchers in housing and planning; geography; and social policy. The book analyses the operation and impact of the right to buy policy (RTB). It includes a critique of the Housing Act and the 2001 Housing (Scotland) Act. The enactment of these changes under a Labour government affirms the continuance of the RTB. The authors take stock of its profound effect on housing policy, reversing the growth in social housing developed over the twentieth century, transforming the nation's tenure structure and revolutionising the UK housing system. The Right to Buy: analysis and evaluation of a housing policy begins with an examination of the policy background to the establishment of the RTB and the main features of the legislation. This is followed by chapters that review its take-up and the pattern of sales and their impact on social housing; a chapter examining the financial aspects of the RTB from the viewpoints of tenants, local authorities and central government; one looking at the impact of the RTB via subsequent re-sales on the open market and on the private rented sector; and a chapter drawing on the information already reviewed to consider the potential of the RTB to create sustainable and diverse communities. In the final chapters the international experience of parallel policies are considered and the future take-up of the RTB is assessed in the light of recent reforms together with alternatives.
