The last frontier: Hong Kong SAR, China
Keywords:
Hong Kong SAR, Frontier Closed Area, crossborder planning, border studies, socio-spatial segregationAbstract
The present work, which is part of a wider research project, presents the analysis
-through an interdisciplinary historical criticism- of the expression over time of the changing
nature of the relations between territory, power, governability and social identity, and on
territorial issues, between the Special Administrative Region of Hong Kong and the People’s
Republic of China. Through an interdisciplinary approach it is observed how the practices of
continuous definition and re-definition of the international border have been, not only, a plastic
instrument of British colonial geopolitics, but have characterised the urban planning of a citystate
that still today –in his postcolonial phase– orients its urban development pushing «from
the inside to the outside» of its territory, while –at neighbourhood level and at the architectural
scale– it promotes the «confinement» and the «exclusive inclusion» at the socio-spatial level,
guaranteeing the quality of living spaces only to the privileged social groups.
