Extended response questions

Answer one question only.

1. Consider the following extract from a redevelopment plan in Sheung Wan proposed by the Urban Renewal Authority:

Project Overview:

The area in the redevelopment plan contains 33 buildings, mostly built in the 1950s and 1960s, and 4 pre-war buildings. Most of the buildings are in a state of disrepair. The general living environment is poor, and the area lacks community facilities and public open space.

Key features of the Master Layout Plan include the preservation and adaptive re-use of the pre-war buildings, preservation of the characteristics of the existing street hawker activities nearby, provision of a two-storey wet market trade complex to accommodate wet market shop operators now operating in the project, and creation of an Old Shop Street. The project will also provide a multi-purpose community hall and more public open space.

To relieve the traffic congestion and pedestrian flow in the area, no car parking spaces will be provided for private cars. Only a loading bay will be provided.

Consultation Activities:

. The Urban Renewal Authority collected opinions from District Council members, local community leaders, conservation experts, and representatives of local residents and hawkers;

. A series of briefings were held for the residents and shop operators affected, explaining the progress of the project and arrangements for compensation and re-housing;

. A social service team has been appointed to assist residents affected by the project, especially to the elderly, physically handicapped, new arrivals, and single-parent families.

(a) What conflicts might arise among different stakeholders from the implementation of redevelopment plans in Hong Kong such as the one described in the above source? Explain your answer. (10 marks)

(b) A youth organisation conducted a course for young people to learn how to analyse policies on redevelopment. The organisation was of the opinion that the participation of young people in redevelopment projects is necessary. Discuss what impact young people’s participation in redevelopment projects may have on themselves and on the Hong Kong community.

2. Consider the following extract from a webpage:

A US environmental organisation, recently conducted an analysis of 20 foods. The most environmentally friendly foods were found to be tomatoes, milk, dried beans, bean curd and broccoli.

The most environmentally unfriendly was found to be lamb. For each kilogram of lamb produced, 39.2 kilograms of greenhouse gases are released. The second most environmentally unfriendly was found to be beef.

Why do meat production processes generate so much carbon emission? It is because the digestive process of some animals (for example, cattle and sheep), the production process of animal feed and so on, all emit greenhouse gases.

If you are enthusiastic about environmental conservation, how can you continue to extensively consume steak, pork chops and lamb chops? Why not change to eating fruit and vegetables to save the Earth?

(a) ‘In Hong Kong, going against dominant trends in society is impossible. ’ Do you agree with this view? Using the habit of meat-eating in Hong Kong as an example, justify your view.

( 10 marks)

(b) Suggest and explain some measures that might be adopted by the Hong Kong government to cultivate environmentally friendly eating habits. ( 10 marks)
