• Abstract:
  

  This paper traces the development of government intervention from the 1950s to the 1990s with a view to bringing out the shortcomings and offering a new perspective of the underlying reasons of government intervention in Hong Kong. It sets up an analytical framework within which to challenge conventional wisdom and to offer a new perspective on the debate on government intervention. It particularly addresses three important questions. First, what have been the rationales behind government housing initiatives in Hong Kong over the past forty years or so? Second, what are the possible shortcomings in policy development as a result? Third, what are the underlying reasons for the ways of government intervention, particularly in the context of policy planning effort and political environment? This paper also serves a refreshing contribution to debate on choices between public and private provision, particularly before and after Hong Kong reverted to Chinese rule.
