With the Times Square controversy, questions were raised about the
management, legal status and design quality of Hong Kong’s public open
spaces in private developments. In response, the Development Bureau
commissioned a study to develop new design and management guidelines.
Why is it important to plan for public facilities in private
developments? Will the proposed new guidelines help? Who will benefit?
Who is paying for the process? How do we make our public spaces in
private developments more attractive for the public?
Join designers, developers, community members, and
representatives from the Development Bureau to look at examples and at
the strengths and weaknesses of the proposed guidelines.
