圖書描述
Memories are still vivid on the incident: on 29 January 2010, a five-storey building at 45J Ma Tau Wai Road, To Kwa Wan, Hong Kong collapsed, causing four deaths and two injuries. The tragedy has raised public concerns about the safety of many of Hong Kong's old and dilapidated buildings.
Realising that the presence of ageing buildings lacking proper care and maintenance poses potential threats to residents and the public at large, since 2012, the Buildings Department has implemented the Mandatory Building Inspection Scheme (MBIS) to carry out inspection and rectification works for buildings aged 30 years or above.
This book, as a pioneer to review and examine the statistics and distributions of the aged buildings in Hong Kong, provides critical insights on the building decay and neglect problems. The statistical information highlighted in the book also serves to project the estimated number of aged buildings to be covered by the MBIS in the future, and the demand of professional workforce expected for the successful implementation of MBIS.
The book is useful for the practising professionals in the building industry, such as surveyors, engineers and government officials. It is also an excellent reference for students and researchers in Surveying, Construction Management and related disciplines.

1.1 Background
Hong Kong is a tiny city with a total land area of 1,104 km2, making it one of the most densely populated places in the world. It was also among the five densest urban areas in the world in 2014. Up to September 2014, the population of Hong Kong was 7,234,800, more than a double of that in 1961 (Census and Statistics Department, 2014).
The number of domestic buildings boomed with the rapid population growth and migration rate of Hong Kong between 1961 and 1990. A steady growth was observed in line with the constant demand of domestic buildings. In order to meet the accommodation needs, society was increasingly concerned about the quantity over quality of the buildings. As of 31 December 2014, there were 43,163 private buildings (excluding New Territories Exempted Houses) in Hong Kong among which 23,797 were non-domestic buildings and domestic buildings over 3 storeys in height. There were 15,581 private buildings, which aged 30 or above. The lack of regulation on governing maintenance work of aged private buildings also posed severe building dilapidation problems. There were a total of 143 accidents due to unsafe building structure, causing 101 deaths and 435 injuries during year 1990 and 2001 (CIRC, 2001).
