The dialectics between Hong Kong and Beijing\u2014between the economic and the political\u2014introduce archetypal tensions that will appear and reappear in the contemporary Chinese city in ever-newer incarnations.<\/p>\n<p>Concluding his six-month term as the inaugural\u00a0M+ \/ Design Trust Research Fellow, Ling Fan will present \u2018Hong Kong as an Urban Archetype for China\u2019s Marketisation\u2019, an examination of this phenomenon focused on two 1990s case studies in Beijing: Oriental Plaza and Sun Dong An Plaza (now Beijing apm). Both projects were funded through investments by Hong Kong-based developers (Cheung Kong Property and Sun Hung Kai Properties, respectively) and relied on the commercial design expertise of Hong Kong architects (P&amp;T Group, formerly Palmer and Turner, and Wong Tung &amp; Partners). In exploring the flow of capital and architectural strategies from Hong Kong to Beijing, Fan will propose the beginnings of a theoretical framework for understanding Hong Kong\u2019s instrumental role in shaping the Chinese city in the post-reform era.<\/p>\n<p>For more information and to register, click\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.westkowloon.hk\/en\/mplus\/m-programmes\/power-economics-and-urban-forms-how-hong-kong-helped-shape-beijing-and-the-contemporary-chinese-city\/event-type\/highlights\">here<\/a>\u00a0or visit<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.westkowloon.hk\/en\/mplus\/m-programmes\/power-economics-and-urban-forms-how-hong-kong-helped-shape-beijing-and-the-contemporary-chinese-city\/event-type\/highlights\">http:\/\/www.westkowloon.hk\/en\/mplus\/m-programmes\/power-economics-and-urban-forms-how-hong-kong-helped-shape-beijing-and-the-contemporary-chinese-city\/event-type\/highlights<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Power, Economics, and Urban Fo [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[33,85],"tags":[],"event_status":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/designtrust.hk\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/824"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/designtrust.hk\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/designtrust.hk\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/designtrust.hk\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/designtrust.hk\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=824"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/designtrust.hk\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/824\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/designtrust.hk\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=824"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/designtrust.hk\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=824"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/designtrust.hk\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=824"},{"taxonomy":"event_status","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/designtrust.hk\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event_status?post=824"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
