Providing Public Space in a Contemporary Metropolis: Dilemmas and Lessons from London and Hong Kong

by Claudio De Magalhaes and Louieh Sieh

Increasingly, public space provision and management are being transferred from the public sector to real estate developers, private sector organisations, voluntary groups and community bodies. Contrasting the more historical, horizontal character of London with the intense street life of high-rise Hong Kong, this book tells the story of the two cities' relationships with non-traditional forms of public space governance.
