Abstract (in English)

This paper examines the evolution of the field of conservation in the city of Hong Kong. In particular, highlighting the ways in which conservation and urban development can be complementary forces instead of in opposition. The city of Hong Kong will be briefly introduced, along with the characteristics that define and influence its conservation, before moving on to the catalyst for Hong Kong’s conservation paradigm shift. The paper will proceed to highlight the various conservation initiatives embarked upon by the Hong Kong SAR’s Development Bureau, concluding with a discussion of the bureau’s accomplishments and challenges for the future.
