First published in 1999, this volume examines the issue that, in
the last two decades, the housing system in Hong Kong has witnessed
a slow but consistent transition from a tenure dominated by public
rental housing to one dominated by private home ownership. This
book seeks to explain the unique social organization of home
ownership in contemporary Hong Kong. Specifically, the book deals
with the genesis of home ownership from three areas: housing
histories, family culture and capital gains from home transactions.
It is agreed that extreme deprivations in housing conditions in
early lives, a strong family culture of mutual help as well as
unprecedented capital gains, all contribute towards explaining the
complex nature of home ownership growth. In conclusion the book
suggests that with China regaining sovereignty after July 1997, the
social organization of home ownership will be further complicated
by more internal migrations from other parts of China, making
housing problems even more acute.
