Abstract
Central Hong Kong faces a challenge. The townscape which supported the nineteenth century city of Victoria no longer meets expectations at the end of twentieth century. Existing buildings provide plenty of small, traditional spaces but few big modern ones. Plot sizes are too small to encourage redevelopment and family owners prefer not too sell. The district is ageing visibly, with large-scale new uses gravitating to Causeway Bay and Tsim Sha Tsui. Even the streets seem narrow now that buildings are taller, the harbour made distant by reclamation and the hills developed.
