Heritage Talk: Big City, Small Shops: The Establishment, Transition and Succession of Hong Kong's Local Old Shops
To promote heritage preservation of the general public, a heritage talk titled "Big City, Small Shops: The Establishment, Transition and Succession of Hong Kong's Local Old Shops" was held on 1 April 2017 at the Hong Kong Central Library which attracted the attendance of over 200 members of the public. Through the detailed illustrations by Prof. HO Pui-yin and Mr Simon GO, the talk hopes to identify the key to the structural transformation of modern Hong Kong society and its economic success; analysis is then made of the influence Western culture had on the development of Hong Kong after the 19th century.
