A New Direction for Hong Kong
 
Policy Address

Heritage Conservation

49.       Cultural life is a key component of a quality city life. A progressive city treasures its own culture and history along with a living experience unique to the city. In recent years, Hong Kong people have expressed our passion for our culture and lifestyle. This is something we should cherish. In the next five years, I will press ahead with our work on heritage conservation.

Heritage Impact Assessment

50.       To fully implement heritage conservation, we will require all public works projects involving historic and built heritage to undergo heritage impact assessment so that the conservation of historic sites and buildings will be given due consideration in the project planning stage.
