Temporary extensions of the Gloucester Road Refuse Collection Point blighted Causeway Bay since 1982. Before Government starts charging residents for collecting their waste, the mismanagement of waste handling needs to be fixed.

Why pay Government for managing
your waste?
30+ years “temporary” structures
blight Causeway Bay

Why would people be willing to pay for waste collection? Government must be seen
to provide an excellent service. The failure of our waste management service is
staring people in the face every day. Throughout the city, temporary Refuse
Collection Points (RCPs) are obvious eye sores.
A blatant example of mismanagement is the Gloucester Road Refuse Collection Point
(RCP) below the Canal Road Flyover. This unsightly collection of
rusted, dented, corrugated temporary structures has blighted Causeway Bay since
1982. Unfortunately, this story is repeated at many places throughout Hong Kong.
Let’s get these fixed before asking residents to pay for collecting their waste.

Walking in TST On 18 July 2012, Paul Zimmerman of Designing Hong Kong and Simon Ng of Civic Exchange presented findings of their joint research under the title “Walking in TST” to the Harbourfront Commission. The ground level is segregated by major roads where all the pedestrian crossings have been removed. The subway system, a network of tunnels and basements owned by different parties, lacks connectivity and is difficult to navigate. A long list of fixes has been proposed: • Plan for district networks, not just station networks • Prioritize pedestrian connectivity at street level • Crossing of Salisbury Road in front of the Peninsula • Crossing of Kowloon Park Drive at Peking Road • Widen effective footway (remove obstacles, widen pavement) • Integrate parks and properties into pedestrian network planning • Provide comprehensive climate controlled grade separated network • Consolidate all below ground links as one network • Expand the underground network • Direct link from the MTR station to the waterfront • Branding of the grade separated network • Naming and icon • Name each tunnel (same name as road above) • Extent visual identity of properties underground (land marks) • Standardize direction signage to entrances • Standardize maps and direction signage inside • Replicate a busy street: shops, seating, busking, … • Enhance way finding • Develop a mapping system for a layered city • Create navigation applications for handheld and other devices • North is north • Create one consolidate pedestrian information system irrespective of ownership • Single naming system for entrances & exits • Enhance finding of barrier free access • Identify barrier free routes • Directional signage to barrier free access facilities • Notices (such as lift repair) should be bilingual

On Friday 16 December 2011, the Town Planning Board rejected the development of a marina, hotel and luxury housing on Lamma. This, despite the financial firepower from a listed company, and the employment of a senior member of the Town Planning Board and a well-known person in Hong Kong's sailing scene. (Planning Application Y/I-LI/1 - http://www.info.gov.hk/tpb/en/plan_application/Y_I-LI_1.html). (http://www.bol-hk.com/) The proposal from the developer who owns a few village and agriculture lots on Lamma was too far-fetched, but the large-scale marina, water sports and sailing centre captured the imagination of many and was strongly supported by the Home Affairs Bureau and Tourism Commission. With our 1,000 kilometres of spectacular coastline, more than 250 islands and beautiful seas, Hong Kong is desperately short of facilities that allow the public to enjoy Hong Kong's waters for leisure, recreation and sports. People are forced to use crumbling steps to get on and off boats in hot spots such as Repulse Bay and Deep Water Bay. Our few water sports and sailing centres are full. No one can afford the private marinas and their waiting lists for boat moorings are very long. Hong Kong desperately needs public clubs where people can store and maintain boating equipment. Buses and the MTR do not welcome passengers carrying surfboards. No one has a garden or shed, or apartments big enough to store sports equipment. The Home Affairs Bureau, which happily endorsed the destruction of Lamma, should take charge. It has so far failed to ensure that man-made waterfronts, where there is no threat to the environment, have facilities for water-based leisure, recreation and sports. Ma On Shan, Kai Tak, Tseung Kwan O and Aberdeen/Ap Lei Chau are ideal with their road and rail access and large local populations. The opportunity for water activities on Junk Bay was identified as early as 1982. Rather than a world-class municipal marina and sailing facilities, all that is available today in Tseung Kwan O is a small unlicensed private operator, the Hoi Fan Fishing Club, where you have to climb over fences and rocks to get onto a small rented sampan with an outboard engine. Unless the bureau starts to care, the planned cross-bay bridge will block sail boats from using Junk Bay. And we will be able to look at the water, but not get on it and use it.

Where does the water we drink come from? Is there enough for everyone? Where will it come from? Hong Kong's water supply comes from two sources: the rainfall we collect in our reservoirs (20-30%) and water we buy from the Mainland (70-80%). The current agreement for water from the Dongjiang, a tributary of the Pearl River, will expire in 2015. With demand for water growing sharply throughout the Pearl River Delta and the supply of water compromised by pollution and climate change, Hong Kong's future access to clean water is far from certain. In our drive to become a sustainable city, should Hong Kong become self-sufficient? Should we increase the size of our reservoirs? Follow Singapore and recycle our waste water? Build plants to desalinate seawater? What other possible methods are there? Who's going to pay? CitySpeak invites you to join Hong Kong officials, academics and planners in this discussion about our water issues. The keynote speaker is Mr. LT Ma, Director of the Water Supplies Department, who will set the scene and outline the current situation in Hong Kong. The discussion will be moderated by Mr. Mike Kilburn, Environmental Programme Manager, Civic Exchange. Background reading "Liquid Assets -- Water security and management in the Pearl River Basin and Hong Kong" by Civic Exchange, November 2009 (http://www.civic-exchange.org/eng/upload/files/091204LiquidAssets.pdf).

Development and transport are closely related, but how do we connect the dots and guarantee a livable city for future generations? Lifting the moratorium in Mid-levels, reducing the threshold for redevelopment and the constant pressure to increase density are all choking the older parts of Hong Kong with more traffic and roadside air pollution. How do we deal with the increased traffic on new roads to the Mainland? How many more roads are we planning to build on our waterfront? Is there too much public transport clogging up our roads? Is replacing pedestrian crossings with subways and footbridges a good thing? What plans are there for environmentally friendly transport and aesthetically more pleasing transport infrastructure in Hong Kong? Where are the hopes for making our city more pedestrian-friendly? Can new engine technology solve our problems? Could electronic road pricing help? Will the new rail lines be enough? Do we have a sustainable (transport) plan for our city? Planners, engineers, academics and officials will discuss whether transport is our solution or our enemy. Designing Hong Kong is a not-for-profit organisation focused on sustainable urban planning.

Heather Hedden, Senior Consultant at Enterprise Knowledge, presented “The Role of Taxonomy and Ontology in Semantic Layers” at a webinar hosted by Progress Semaphore on April 16, 2024. Taxonomies at their core enable effective tagging and retrieval of content, and combined with ontologies they extend to the management and understanding of related data. There are even greater benefits of taxonomies and ontologies to enhance your enterprise information architecture when applying them to a semantic layer. A survey by DBP-Institute found that enterprises using a semantic layer see their business outcomes improve by four times, while reducing their data and analytics costs. Extending taxonomies to a semantic layer can be a game-changing solution, allowing you to connect information silos, alleviate knowledge gaps, and derive new insights. Hedden, who specializes in taxonomy design and implementation, presented how the value of taxonomies shouldn’t reside in silos but be integrated with ontologies into a semantic layer. Learn about: - The essence and purpose of taxonomies and ontologies in information and knowledge management; - Advantages of semantic layers leveraging organizational taxonomies; and - Components and approaches to creating a semantic layer, including the integration of taxonomies and ontologies
