information

4. MISSION STATEMENT
The Stanford Center in Hong Kong is a not-for-profit subsidiary of Stanford University
headquartered in Hong Kong SAR, China, established in 2005 as an overseas office to
facilitate Stanford University’s presence in the rapidly growing East Asia Region. Along
with Stanford Centers in Beijing, China, and Kyoto, Japan, The Stanford Center in Hong
Kong is concerned with supporting and cultivating academic and political relations with
major East Asian institutions. In addition, the Stanford Center in Hong Kong has a
particular focus on networking with local businesses and corporations, especially in the
areas of engineering and technology.
As part of its overall mission, The Stanford Center in Hong Kong is developing a new
project, the Campus Hong Kong Project (CHKP), which has three main goals:
TO ESTABLISH a physical campus in the city of Hong Kong which introduces
undergraduate and graduate-level education in the technology sector, namely in
sciences, engineering, and business;
TO ENCOURAGE closer academic, social, business, and cultural ties between the
University and the rapidly growing East Asia Region;
TO ENGENDER a mutually beneficial interaction space for the people of Hong Kong
and Stanford affliates around the world.

9. GENERAL INFORMATION
Official name: Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the People's
Republic of China
Official languages: Chinese, English
Area: land - 1,104 km² (426 sq mi), water - 50 km² (19 sq mi)
Population: 7,061,200 (2010), 6,480 km² / 16,576/sq mi
Time zone: HKT (UTC+8)
Currency: Hong Kong dollar
Human development index (HDI): 0.898 (very high)

10. BRIEF HISTORY
Current Hong Kong was first incorporated into China during the Qin Dynasty
and largely remained under Chinese rule until 1841 during the Qing Dynasty. Hong
Kong became a colony of the British Empire after the First Opium War (1839–42).
Originally confined to Hong Kong Island, the colony's boundaries were extended in
stages to the Kowloon Peninsula in 1860 and then the New Territories in 1898. It
was occupied by Japan during the Pacific War, after which the British resumed
control until 1997, when China resumed sovereignty.

11. DISTRICTS
HONG KONG ISLAND (Central, East Coast, South Coast)
Hong Kong Island is the site of the original British settlement. Most of Hong Kong's highest
skyscrapers and the financial centre can be found here, including its famous skyline along the
northern coastline. Hong Kong's financial centre, shopping. Overall, Hong Kong Island is more
modern and wealthy than the other areas of Hong Kong.
KOWLOON
This peninsula jutting south towards Hong Kong Island from the Asian continent is the most
populous area in Hong Kong and at one time it was the most densely populated place in the
world. Today, it offers a chaotic mix of malls, street markets and residential tenements.
NEW TERRITORIES
Named by British officials when leased from the Chinese government in 1898, the New
Territories contain a curious mix of small farms, villages, industrial installations, mountainous
country parks and towns that have populations the size of some cities.
LANTAU
The largest of the Outlying Islands, twice the size of Hong Kong Island and famous for its high
peaks, wild landscapes, great beaches and the airport, which has a significant role in Hong
Kong's economy.
OUTLYING ISLANDS
Well-known weekend destinations for the locals, the Outlying Islands are most of the islands
surrounding Hong Kong Island. They range from significant population centers to rocks poking
out of the sea.

15. CONSTRUCTION REPORT
● 7,650 Skyscrapers
● Lack of buildable area has created very dense construction
● Many developed areas are on top of Reclaimed Land
● Land Reclamation dates back to Han Dynasty (206 BCE – 9CE)
● Many projects are in development on Hong Kong Island and West Kowloon
● The closure of Kai Tak Airport has lifted height restrictions, allowing more
high rises to be built in West Kowloon
Reclaimed land in Hong Kong (yellow).

16. ZONING AND PARKS
A spread-out American-style campus is possible in the New
Salient Facts and Figures:
Territories cf. China University of HK near Fo Tan, below
● Hong Kong has just over 1100 sq km of land controlled by a
dedicated council
● 40% of usable land is dedicated to conservation
● 67% of land is still undeveloped
● Permits to build are easier to obtain in the New Territories; harder
to obtain in Kowloon; nearly impossible to obtain for HK island.
● Most development is happening on new lands in the New
Territories or reclaimed land in Kowloon.
● Most new industries and universities are located in the New
Territories. A spread-out American-style campus is possible in the
New Territories.

38. SITE ANALYSIS - traffic

39. SITE ANALYSIS – geometry and characteristics of space

40. SITE ANALYSIS – construction
- coastal land reclamation consists of two layers: highly permeable
layer consisting of crushed rock fragments underneath a less permeable
layer (sand)
- land reclamation increases water level
- deep foundations have a profound impact on underground water flow
● building on reclaimed land demands ground improvement and
constant maintenance (drainages) – Source: Preliminary assessment of the impacts of deep foundations and
land reclamation on groundwater flow in a coastal area in Hong Kong, China
ASCERTAINMENTS:
● LESS CONTACT AREA WITH GROUND = LOWER COSTS FOR
CONSTRUCTION AND MAINTAINING
● BUILDING ON RECLAIMED LAND DEMANDS AT LEAST 20 % MORE
INVESTMENT THAN BUILDING ON ORDINARY LAND

68. DEVELOPER LIAISON
Terms of Agreement:
1. Stanford is the owner of the land, SHKP is
the main developer. Sun Hung Kai Properties
(SHKP)
2. SHKP develops campus and other
properties together with Stanford as a main
stakeholder.
3. SHKP will take full profit from any non
university-related residential, retail, and office
tower units.
4. SHKP and Stanford will jointly manage
architectural design and character of the
entire development. The two areas of the
project should be integrated to a certain
extent, but the Stanford area should have
more of the feel of a campus.
5. SHKP will profit from proximity and prestige
to leverage higher profits on their
development units.
6. Stanford and SHKP will agree upon further
terms regarding compensation through
annuities or other means.
