The Placemakers of Hong Kong

The Placemakers of Hong Kong pays homage to what local development companies, charitable organizations, as well as the government have been able to achieve in contributing to the enhancement of Hong Kong's evolving urban and rural landscape. Far from being solely profit-driven, developers and urban planners have been vital to the community by creating and designing urban spaces for the public, increasing walkability, and embracing sustainable design-a process called 'placemaking'. The book also recognizes that just as important are the subsequent placekeeping activities necessary to keep each project site relevant and up-to-date.
