Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Brief is the first comprehensive coverage of law and policy intended to protect built heritage in Hong Kong. Although characterized as a city of skyscrapers and modernity, Hong Kong has a rich cultural heritage and a surprisingly rich built heritage. The text considers what “built heritage” means in Hong Kong and what built heritage there is in Hong Kong. It introduces general readers, practitioners and students to the issues facing built heritage protection and how such protection usually develops in a modern city. In particular, it considers the problems and disputes that provided the focus for development of law and policy in Hong Kong, especially the legacy of 150 years as a British colony and the consequent identification as a “borrowed” and “temporary” place. The Brief considers how effective law and policy has been in protecting built heritage under the colonial and post-colonial administrations- their successes and failures. These include the Kowloon-Canton Railway Station, the Antiquities and Monuments Ordinance, reclamation of Victoria Harbour, violent protests at Queen’s Pier, and the introduction of mandatory heritage impact assessments for government projects. The text concludes noting recent successes, which may indicate a brighter future for the protection of Hong Kong’s built heritage.

This is especially true for cosmopolitan cities where population density is high and the land resources are in shortage. Hong Kong, a city located on the southern coast of China at the junction of the Pearl River Estuary and the South China Sea, has one of the highest population density in the world. Continued existence of historic building is a difficult achievement, but there is a rare case at The Helena May, a private membership clubhouse which has stood for almost a century. Every heritage monument, site, artefact, and object is owned by, occupied by, or is the responsibility of some individuals. They are the site managers - the custodians of the heritage. This research aims at examining the challenges in managing a heritage site from the perspectives of the custodians. As the custodians of the heritage buildings, site managers are playing an increasingly important role in operationally sustaining and maintaining the building. The continuous survival of The Helena May is a very rare case in Hong Kong. The secrets behind the management and conservation of this heritage building would provide guidance for the custodians of other heritage buildings in Hong Kong in their quest to adapting to the ever-changing social and economic environment in the city. Through this research, the importance of intangible considerations in the process of conditional survey will be emphasised. Apart from the external requirements by the government and the existing physical conditions of the building, the significance and values of the building, and the roles of stakeholders also play their important roles in determining the conservation plan of the historic building. The framework of this research is based on the Process of Formulating a Conservation Plan (see Table 1) in the publication: The Conservation Plan.1 A thorough condition survey of The Helena May will be conducted to demonstrate the challenges faced by the site managers in managing a historic building in Hong Kong. This research will also form the basis for future researches on similar historic buildings in Hong Kong and other World Heritage Site. 1 Kerr, J.S. The Conservation Plan.

Abstract: Architectural Heritage Conservation in Hong Kong: an Empirical Analysis ABSTRACT This thesis is an original empirical analysis of the key decision making factors in architectural heritage conservation using rigorous statistical and reliable valuation techniques to evaluate Hong Kong data. The aim is to find out the factors that determine historical building designation by Hong Kong Government, using a statistical tool. It is a descriptive rather than prescriptive study. It is not a policy review or consultative document. There is no intention to criticize or dispute the existing mechanism for the evaluation of historical buildings. This is, indeed, a fact finding exercise about objective factors in decision making using a statistical technique which is viable alternative to research on policy decision making through opinion survey. This thesis attempts to verify popular local beliefs that the economic costs of conserving architectural heritage sites in Hong Kong outweigh all cultural benefits when policymakers decide on conservation funding allocation. It evaluated the non-aggregate data for a total of 155 sites using a probit model and land valuation exercise. By identifying the actual criteria for the declaration of monuments in Hong Kong, this thesis should contribute to better conservation research by putting it on a solid quantitative basis not found in any previous literature. xivArchitectural Heritage Conservation in Hong Kong: an Empirical Analysis The resulting case study of Hong Kong shows that the factors affecting both the decisions over the declaration of monuments and the grading of historical buildings are: a) Age: the older the age of a site, the more likely a building it is to be declared a monument and assigned a higher grade. b) Area: a historical building that has larger gross site area is less likely to be declared a monument. c) Architectural style: a building that has a "Chinese" design has a greater chance of being declared a monument than a Western style building. d) Ownership: the type of ownership of a building is not a significant factor in the determination of declaration of monument and grading of historical building. e) Zoning: the common belief that a building on land that is zoned G/IC is more likely to be declared a 'monument' than one located in a zone that allows private development is false. f) Value of the land: a building on a site with a higher land value has a greater likelihood of being declared a monument and given a higher grade. xvArchitectural Heritage Conservation in Hong Kong: an Empirical Analysis In addition, this thesis offers constructive thoughts on the potential contribution of empirical analysis to the declaration of monuments and grading of historical buildings statistics. xvi DOI: 10.5353/th_b3893485 Subjects: Historic buildings - Conservation and restoration - Decision making - China - Hong Kong Historic preservation - China - Hong Kong - Decision making

Abstract: Hong Kong has carried out heritage conservation since the late 1970s based on the Antiquities & Monuments Ordinance of 1976, but protecting individual buildings has been the main focus. This is a fragmented way to conserving tangible heritage and is neither to the best interest of the building nor to the visitor experience. Designating a street as historical is common in countries such Britain, Canada and the United States. However, they normally conserve the area as a whole rather than a single street. For example, Cleveland Street in London, England, is listed but it is treated as an "Conservation Area" rather than a "conservation street." As designating streets as heritage is not new to these countries. It is, however, a quite new concept to Hong Kong. 2009 marked the first time in Hong King's history that streets were listed as Grade I built heritage, namely Pottinger Street and Ladder Street. Both are in the Central district. Is it a good way to conserving a street by just designating it as a heritage, but segregating it from its context? What other support measures are required to have it be really conserved? This dissertation focuses on whether it works as conservation by designating a street as a built heritage without including its context. The scope covers one case-study street, Ladder Street in Sheung Wan, and tracks the changes of the area after its Grade I listing in December 2009. Ladder Street is one of the earliest streets constructed in Hong Kong. It is not only a "built heritage" in itself, it also cuts across several streets featuring other "built heritage," such as Man Mo Temple, YMCA and the Hong Kong Museum of Medical Sciences building. This study will attempt to evaluate if it is appropriate to designate a street. The main objective of this research is to review the Hong Kong experience in conserving built heritage, the designation procedure in Hong Kong, the reasons of designating Ladder Street, the impact on the streetscape and its implications in Hong Kong. Overseas example will be examined and their applicability in the Hong Kong context will be discussed. Ultimately, possible areas for further investigation will be identified.

Since the establishment of The Culture and Heritage Commission in 2000, the Hong Kong Government has been trying to review the situation and devise policies for conservation for Hong Kong. Various Government departments had prepared working papers or research reports to review the problems on heritage conservation and the limitations of our system since 2000. One of the obvious restrictions in the system is the existing conservation legislation. Notwithstanding the announcement of the built heritage conservation policy by the former Chief Executive, Mr. Donald Tsang, in 2007, the Government still takes no active and comprehensive measures in reviewing and amending the legislation. As Mr. Donald Tsang once said, collective memory is a great concern of the public in Hong Kong. It seems that if the conservation legislation is not on the agenda for review in the near future, some of the heritage buildings under threat will really become our collective memory. This dissertation will aim at giving an introduction of the existing conservation legislation of Hong Kong and from a brief case comparison with the conservation legislation in Macau and Singapore, one is not difficult to identify the limitations of our existing legislation and the areas for improvement.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hong Kong’s approach to heritage conservation has focused mainly on saving an old building here and there with little or no regard to its surroundings. Recent public debates challenging proposals to demolish the former Central Government Offices have highlighted this problem and, for the first time, acknowledged that the heritage value of the buildings is enhanced by their contribution to the broader ‘cultural landscape’ of Government Hill. Not all of Hong Kong’s heritage cultural landscapes have been so fortunate. Landscapes Lost and Found illustrates the concept of cultural landscape using wonderful local examples and champions this new approach to interpreting and conserving Hong Kong’s heritage sites more effectively. “Landscapes Lost and Found is an essential reference for conservation professionals and students. Cultural landscape is an important concept that has been recognised by UNESCO as a World Heritage category, and the author contextualises the concept with local examples, making it relevant to Hong Kong and other Asian cities.” —Lee Ho Yin, head of the division of architectural conservation programmes, the University of Hong Kong

Abstract: At a time when the world is becoming more monotonous under the effect of globalization, diversity has become precious. To retain the different colours of culture, cultural heritage conservation has been widely practiced in many countries. Starting from the 1970s, international conservation organizations have been advocating for area-based conservation. They believe that the goal of heritage conservation, which includes the conservation of both tangible and intangible assets, can be better achieved by conserving areas at an urban scale. In order to facilitate area-based conservation, many countries have integrated conservation with town planning. In Hong Kong, heritage conservation does not protect areas at an urban scale. It only serves an advisory function to town planning and fails to protect the landscape around historic buildings/sites. Under the fast pace of development, this building-based conservation approach has created a fragmented cityscape of Hong Kong as bits and bobs of historic structures are surrounded by incompatible features such as parking garage, flyovers, highways and skyscrapers. This ruins the spirit of the place, decreases the heritage value of the site and consequently diminishes the character of the city. This study attempts to improve heritage conservation in Hong Kong by finding out the feasibility of setting up conservation areas in the city. It explores the importance of heritage conservation, the significance of area-based conservation, and the success factors for setting conservation areas in Singapore, which has shown successful in preserving historic districts and areas of special character by area-based conservation. By reviewing Hong Kong‟s current practice in heritage conservation and town planning against these success factors, several recommendations are conducted at the end.

Abstract: As a contribution to econometric research on the role of architectural heritage, this dissertation evaluates non-aggregate data for a total of 2142 designated National Priority Protected Sites (NPPS) in China using hedonic model and ordered probit model. Attempting to verify economic costs of conserving architectural heritage sites in China, the objectives of the dissertation are to find out the grading system of NPPS; to compare the monetary value and non-monetary value methods on architectural heritage conservation; to identify the current criteria of national heritage conservation maintenance funding (NHCMF) allocation for the NPPS; and to select and evaluate the key factors of NHCMF allocation for the NPPS. The research question of this dissertation is: "what are the decision criteria of NHCMF allocation in China?." The dissertation conceives of one general hypothesis and 17 empirical hypotheses. The general hypothesis is based on the maintenance funding and grading system of each conservation project. The empirical hypotheses are generated from possible determined factors of NHCMF allocation, theories of sustainable development, economic value and heritage value. Based on the real market information, 7 factors have been identified as the determined factors of NHCMF allocation of NPPS. They are "average household income," "annual economic benefit," "average personal salary," "population," "ticket," "types modern building" and "types revolutionary sites." Of these 7 factors, on the one hand, "average household income," "annual economic benefit," "population," "entry ticket fee" and "types (revolutionary sites)" have positive relationship with the maintenance cost. The positive relationship result implies that the revolutionary sites locate in economic developed area with more population and higher entry ticket fee are more likely to get more maintenance funding. On the other hand, "average personal salary" and "types (modern buildings)" have negative relationship with maintenance funding. The negative relationship result reflects that modern buildings of NPPS with higher average personal salary are less likely getting more maintenance funding. Based on the hypothetical market data, 4 factors have been identified as the determined factors of NHCMF allocation of NPPS. The factors of "population and "annual economic benefit" have the same relationship with monetary market data. The "maintenance funding" and "original usage" have negative relationship with grading system.

A city built entirely on its rapid urban development and redevelopment, Hong Kong has transitioned into a place where people start to concern about what is left in our heritage before it is too late. The change of public sentiment leads us to have a different set of expectation on heritage sites in Hong Kong, which is the topic of this paper. In response to the escalating public concerns regarding the administration's take towards heritage conservation, Hong Kong government's new Heritage Conservation Policy in 2007 launched the 'Revitalising Historic Buildings Through Partnership Scheme', overseen by the new Commissioner for Heritage's Office. The Scheme (the 'R-Scheme') is an initiative to engage non-profit organisations (NPOs) to conduct adaptive reuse at government-owned historic buildings. The Batch I of the R-Scheme included the proposed revitalisation of the Old Tai O Police Station. Built in 1902, the Old Tai O Police Station is a Grade II historic building located on Lantau Island. The Hong Kong Heritage Conservation Foundation Limited (HCF) has been selected to restore and operate the site as Tai O Heritage Hotel, a boutique hotel in a non-profit social enterprise model. The R-Scheme is a pioneer initiative that builds up a framework for public-private partnership in heritage conservation. And as most pioneer programmes go, while the R-Scheme opens up new opportunities and broadens the field of heritage conservation, it also brings new challenges that one might not have foreseen beforehand. This paper uses Tai O Heritage Hotel as a case study to look into these new challenges, and how these challenges are arisen because of the change of public sentiment and expectation towards historic buildings in recent years. Part of this paper is written in first person narrative, as the author has been working on this revitalisation project and has personally encountered these challenges, including heritage interpretation and public engagement. The challenges and solutions covered in this paper focus on the "software" of the project, as she is involved mostly in the non-technical aspects of the project, and also this portion of the project contributes heavily on satisfying public expectation as well.
