Law Enforcement and Unauthorized Building Works: Illegal Structures and the Hong Kong Buildings Department Harvard Case Solution & Analysis

Law Enforcement and Unauthorized Building Works: Illegal Structures and the Hong Kong Buildings Department Case Solution

During the time period of 1980s till 1990s, somewhere among the old, concrete-block buildings of lower-income parts of central Hong Kong and the areas of the Kowloon peninsula, everyday metal-framed wooden constructions were constructed to house thousands of the city's families in austere, though cheap, quarters. These "illegal rooftop structures" consisted of what could be a named a shantytown of the atmosphere, one made up of constructions which, though constructed illegally, were still purchased, sold, and leased on the open market. Such constructions, also, were only one example of the larger phenomenon of so called unauthorized construction works in Hong Kong.

1999, it estimated that UBWs of all kinds in Hong Kong totaled a staggering 800,000. By one estimate, as they was doing if authorities continued enforcement, it'd take to effect the removal of all such constructions-assuming that new ones weren't constructed in their own area.
