The strategic urban planning theory and practice appears at the end of the 20th century, which primarily attempts to solve the downtown problems such as economy depression, traffic inconvenient and Infrastructure shortage. This paper takes Hong Kong Metroplan as example in the view of historical and empirical study to analyze the purpose, function and process of strategic urban planning, which refers to several issues such as land-use planning, environmental planning, urban planning review and public participation. It sums up the experience of strategic urban planning in Hong Kong to provide the reference for present rapid urbanization in China.

The Ideal

Chapter 1 introduces the background of the Umbrella Movement, a protest movement that took hold in Hong Kong in 2014, and outlines the theoretical principles underlying the analysis of the role of media and communication in the occupation campaign. It explicates how the Umbrella Movement is similar to but also different from the ideal-typical networked social movement and crowd-enabled connective action. It explains why the Umbrella Movement should be seen as a case in which the logic of connective action intervenes into a planned collective action. It also introduces the notion of conditioned contingencies and the conceptualization of an integrated media system.
