Asia’s Environmental Movements
Strategy Misguided
The surge in automobile use in the Pearl River Delta region has led to a substantial elevation of ambient concentrations of vehicle-based air pollutants. These pollutants have created a region-wide air pollution problem marked by a steady increase in the number of smoggy days in the Delta, presenting a serious threat to public health. Evidence gathered from Guangzhou suggests that the city's strategy for controlling urban air pollution has not be…
Same longitude, different latitudes
The problem of bringing sufficient water of adequate quality to urban areas and treating it once used is becoming increasingly complex, requiring and eliciting innovative political and institutional responses in all parts of China, wet as well as dry. The focus here is on a range of recent institutional innovations in Beijing, in the dry Hai River basin, and in major municipalities of the water-rich Pearl River Delta, in the areas of cross-bounda…
Environmental Consciousness in Hong Kong
The majority of the public in Hong Kong have repeatedly told pollsters that they believe environmental problems have become very serious in the city.They are, however, at the same time, highly skeptical about the actual degree of concern felt by their neighbors, friends and relatives.Their belief that only they themselves are environmentally conscious but not the others probably stems from the fact that people in Hong Kong tend to, unconsciously,…
Asia's Environmental Movements
The investigation of the rise and fall of Gao Gang suggests broader implications on the nature of elite politics in the Maoist era. The illumination of basic issues in Chinese politics in the context of this case, especially as regards the role of Mao Zedong, is relevant not only to the initial post-1949 period of comparative, but flawed, party unity, but also to the structural fault lines of the political system which were later to contribute so…
Clear Consensus, Nebulous Commitment
Large majorities of the Hong Kong public have expressed serious concern and broad support for the environment in surveys, for example, by supporting increases in government spending to improve the environment. At the same time, surveys indicate that the environment ranks very low in salience as an important problem, with a wide range of other social issues considered to be far more urgent and more deserving of government expenditure. This finding…
Intermediary institutions, community organizations, and urban environmental management
The Extended Metropolis
Asian urbanization is entering a new phase that differs significantly from the patterns of city growth experienced in other developing countries and in the developed world. According to a recent hypothesis, zones of intensive economic interaction between rural and urban activities are emerging. The zones appear to be a new form of socioeconomic organization that is neither rural nor urban, but preserves essential ingredients of each. The landscap…
