This study compares urban planning mechanisms that operate within
Hong Kong, Singapore and Taiwan. The political economy of Hong Kong
is in a state of flux. While the power of the government and the
corporate interests remain largely intact, they are challenged by
pro-China interests and a democratizing civil society. The land use
planning system reflects this power contest. In the face of both
strong resistance from the development industry and China's
eagerness to perpetuate a market-led society in post-1997 Hong
Kong, the outcome of the power contest remains uncertain. The
state-centred political economy of Singapore has bred a top-down
land use planning system centrally controlled by the government.
Not only has the government dominated the plan making process, the
legislation has entrusted the public sector to scrutinize and guide
private development through a discretionary development control
system.
