Ways to Urbanisation: Post-War Road Development in Hong Kong - Ho Pui-yin - Bookniverse

This book focuses on a crucial internal problem—Hong Kong’s post-war road development from 1946 to present. Observations are made on road development in the post-war period and its impact on the city’s development through the study of areas such as the building and expansion of road network; the establishment and operation mechanisms of the departments responsible for road works; and the formulation, implementation and promotion of transport policy. This allows us to undertake further assessment of issues such as the characteristics of post-war urbanisation in Hong Kong, population distribution and land use, and inter-relationships between internal social changes and the city’s rapid development, with an expectation that this would serve as reference for the city’s further development. 本書以戰後香港城市發展的內部核心問題──1946年至今的道路發展為研究重心。透過道路網絡的建立與伸延，專責道路工程的部門的成立與運作機制，以至交通政策的制定、實施與推行等課題，觀察戰後六十多年來香港道路的發展對城市拓展的影響，從而評估戰後香港人口分佈與土地利用、都市化的特色、社會內部變化與城市急速擴張的互動關係等問題，為城市未來發展提供參考作用。
