AbstractThrough public consultation, open exhibitions and charettes, an emerging identity tied to a strong sense of history has made itself felt. This must be reinforced with educating the citizens of Hong Kong -- not only of the possibilities of urban design for ameliorating their lives, but also of their right to engage in public discussion and their duty to responsible stewardship of their environment. It is proposed that visualising the future belongs to all of us, and that a truly interactive process is required in which residents are given a public forum wherein they may express their views and participate in the design of the urban spaces around them.
