Abstract:

In the colonial period during 1841 to 1997, Hong Kong had developed much from a fishing village to an international metropolis and also the building industry developed at the same time. This paper takes a historic view to review the evolution of building control in Hong Kong, and then the characteristics in each phase can be summed up.
