      abstract = {This Brief is the first comprehensive coverage of law and  policy intended to protect built heritage in Hong Kong.  Although characterized as a city of skyscrapers and  modernity, Hong Kong has a rich cultural heritage and a  surprisingly rich built heritage. The text considers what  "built heritage" means in Hong Kong and what built heritage  there is in Hong Kong. It introduces general readers,  practitioners and students to the issues facing built  heritage protection and how such protection usually  develops in a modern city. In particular, it considers the  problems and disputes that provided the focus for  development of law and policy in Hong Kong, especially the  legacy of 150 years as a British colony and the consequent  identification as a "borrowed" and "temporary" place. The  Brief considers how effective law and policy has been in  protecting built heritage under the colonial and  post-colonial administrations- their successes and  failures. These include the Kowloon-Canton Railway Station,  the Antiquities and Monuments Ordinance, reclamation of  Victoria Harbour, violent protests at Queen's Pier, and the  introduction of mandatory heritage impact assessments for  government projects. The text concludes noting recent  successes, which may indicate a brighter future for the  protection of Hong Kong's built heritage},
