Abstract Urban renewal is a long struggle in our society in line with the drastic development in Hong Kong. As upheaval of genuine need for better living and business environment, the redevelopment programme for the dilapidated building zone at inner city was formulated in a systematic (Survey-Analysis-Plan) approach to solve the urban decay problem as early as the 60's (Lo etal, 1986). Urban renewal programme has been executed for a long time with the participation with all interested parties, but the progress was unsatisfactory since a lot of planned redevelopment area is still unchanged. The existing mechanism was found to be inefficient and ineffective to run the renewal programme. Without a comprehensive framework and mechanism, full support from the government, coalition with private resources and related parties, the progress of urban renewal in Hong Kong is sluggish which in turn will hinder growth of the city. The 1998 Policy Address by the Chief Executive- Mr Tung Chee-hwa was afresh focused on the progress of urban renewal and hastened the establishment of new redevelopment body to participate in urban renewal. The potential renewal authority is therefore proposed to be set up. Planning Department proposed to consider the possibility of transforming the existing Land Development Corporation to Urban Renewal Authority (URA) to shape the role of redevelopment in urban renewal (PEBL, 1988a). Page.l Renewal in Urban Hong Kong: the need for a new authority This dissertation is prepared to direct the establishment of new authority in light of social, economic, planning, environmental and institutional issues in the public domain. Through reviewing the problems surfaced from the urban decay and the difficulties in renewal process, it will examine the existing mechanism of urban renewal, identify the need for a new renewal authority to reengineer the existing renewal organisation via the possible transformation of Land Development Corporation (LDC). The direction of the new renewal body is guided in the concerned issues and in response to public interest by open and fair renewal procedures, particular attention will be paid to the poor and the weak. Finally, it will propose the possible role of the Urban Renewal Authority ("URA"). In fact, this urban renewal study will offer an opportunity to profoundly realise the mechanism, organization and behaviour of related parties, conflict of interest, and the issues in the social, economic, planning, environmental and institutional aspect.
