Comments:Hi Tracy,

Are you really think this is a good website? I don't think so as the news are very outdated and it does not appear that there is anyone maintains it...

Anyway, why are you intereted in Town Planning? To be honest, I think Town Planning in Hong Kong is very bad as town planners in Hong Kong simply do not have too much power in the process and the developers have final say. Otherwise, we would not have the extremely high-rise building near Victoria Harbour and the extremely high density housing in Junk Bay.

Anyway, I am also a Town Planner (thou not in Hong Kong) and like to make friends with planning students in Hong Kong...it is nice to meet you.

Comments:Dear all,

Thank you for your questions. I can't answer your questions about job searching. If you want to discuss urban planning, then I must join it. I am now conducting a research on impacts of urban renewal. somebody may know me. I am just a small potato. I am not interested in "planning" working in HK government.
In the past, a lot of people including officials resists pedestrianization. now it becomes popular in some areas such as Mong Kok, Causeway.... In my vulgar opinion, a lot of "innovative" planning ideas do not materialize because of power and conflict of interest. Therefore to change society, Planners have to be ready to take a radical approach.

Comments:Nice to meet all Town Planning people here. I m from HK, but got a Town Planning degree in NZ, and am now working there as a Town Planner for a local government in Auckland.

I find many guests here express interests in Town Planning and wants to even know the job opportunities in this area. Actually, for those interested in Town Planning in Hong Kong, you can try to visit website of Hong Kong Institute of Planners at www.hkip.org.hk. This is a professional body of the rare town planners in Hong Kong.

However, for those planning graduates look for jobs, I don't think this institute has helped much, as they don't have any advertisement for job vacancy at all. However, they do have a directory containing a list of private planning consultants (actually there are only 15 compaines !~), so graduates may like to send letters to these companies for luck.

Generally, I think town planners are not recognised as a profession and some people even don't know there is such a career (compared with the well known professions such as Engineers or Accountants), this makes me very disappointed. To the worst, sometimes, media even ask other professions (such as architects) for interview on matters related to town planning but not planners !! I think very upset about this!! Yes, architects may know more on building and urban design, but I don't think they can speak for us on town planning issues !

I think, we, as a planner, should keep enhancing our knowledges in different aspects of planning to further strengthen the base of our profession and let people know that town planner is a profession on its own merit !!

你好,我叫Vincent lam, 我希望日後可以修讀香港大學的Urban Planning, 我於網上看到你有關城市規劃的網頁和文章, 獲益良多,但同時亦有一些對於這專業的問題,希望閣下能抽空解答,多謝

一般香港規劃師在香港除於為政府做事外,私人公司會否請規劃師?
香港規劃師日後在香港,中國,以至外國的出路/前景如何?
修讀規劃課程學到那些其他課程學不到的知識?你最大得益是什麼?
修讀規劃課程以前需要修讀相關的課程/學位課程嗎?例如建築,管理......閣下以前/或同學有否修讀非相關的課程,而修讀規劃碩士?

多謝抽空解答,你的意見定會令我更清楚日後的路向.Vincent

Comments:Hi all,

I found this website from yahoo search & it really fits my interest. I am 26 yrs old now & I am very interested to shift career from IT to urban planning. I found there a master course MSc in Urban Planning offered by University of Hong Kong(HKU) fits my interest. I may plan to study the course full-time.

However I would like to find career information in urban planning field of Hong Kong before I applied the master course. But I could not find career information in urban planning field.

So I would like to know is it difficult to search job in urban planning field in HK?

Any job I can start with after I completed the MSc in Urban Planning course?

What kind of organizations I can contact to know more about career in urban planning?

Any other universities offer similar course except HKU?

I don't mind to work in China as I think urban planning professionals are in demand in Mainland China...so hope anyone can answer my questions..Thanks!

Comments:Hi, Fora,

I don't think I have a full list of planning consultants. i have browsed HKIP's website. Certaintly his list includes the most famous planning companies in Hong Kong. If you can't find any summer jobs in those "big" companies, then you have to try other architectural firms who may have small planning teams or branch. Why don't you stay in Australia and look for some jobs?

Hong Kong is now under economic depression. though property market is stablised, but still not in a good shape, a lot of private developers or property agency look to the China market. Since this, property development in Hong Kong is certainly slowing down and thus commissioned projects for those planning firms are slashed.

other than R/C property development, the trend of planning in Hong Kong more focuses on making a green city, stimulating cultual industry for economic reasons. I hope what the principal offiers said recently is not a big talk. In taiwan, as i know the development of cultural industry is based on community development and planning. But in Hong Kong, its initiation is from the government which often fail to provide any incentive for people to intitiate community/cultural works.

As the government always says, we have to look positively. Now we do. but the result does not depend on what the govenment, but whehter she can encourage people such as residents, small business ownership, social workers, planners to do in a certain way. Without community works or collective grassroots intelligence, cultural development is halted easily.

I am not an expert on city planning. I really cannot provide "confidential" information for you.
No doubt you can contact me by email hochunkit@lycos.com. For further request, we can talk though email. O.K?
this site is aimed at introducing information on HK planning from my perspective and introducing some related links to urban planning.

Actually I will put HK historial heritage's information into this site. But the problem is how??? in what way do I present it? at best a bit critically.

can you have any suggestion??? we can talk about it.
