Dean’s Roundup (Friday, 24 July 2015)

Dear All, Welcome to mid-summer. A good time for rest, reflection, relaxed academic research, reading and Agatha Christie-style English murder stories (there is a famous English TV drama called ‘Midsummer Murders’). I have none of the latter to report fortunately, but some encouraging news to share about research and other faculty developments. Just before I started travelling in Europe and the Middle east three weeks ago I heard the results of the HK GRF research funding exercise and a few days after returning I have the results of the bi-annual HKU post doc fellow competition and a nice letter from the former Provost. The new is all good, although there is a cautionary note to convey. First, huge congratulations to the 8 Faculty of Architecture colleagues awarded GRF and Early Career grants (see table below). We are still waiting for the results of three Health and Medical Research Fund (HMRF) so I am hoping that our catch of externally-funded competitive ‘blue-chip’ research grants will be above 10 again this year (14 last year and 4 the year before that). This is a powerful signal to the university that the faculty is making continued progress in growing its capacity for high quality academic and applied research. And that is where the cautionary note comes in. HKU University Research Committee met yesterday to consider postdoctoral fellowship (PDF) applications. The ratio of applications to funded places was 3:1. We had two submitted (PIs: Wilson Lu REC and Shenjing He DUPAD). Both were graded as fundable. But in the discussion, the PVC for research, who chairs the URC gave a strong directive to mark down applications from cost centres (in our case the entire faculty) that are on the ‘RAE watch-list’. We are on that list along with about 15 other cost centres in HKU because architecture’s ‘tail’ in our RAE (Research Assessment Exercise) profile is long (over 15%). In the bigger scheme of things, this doesn’t worry me at all. The main reasons for this poor RAE performance are a historical lack of attention to academic research in parts of the faculty and the difficulty shared by all architecture schools worldwide in defining, identifying, presenting and evaluating design-related research. We are making great strides on both counts as the competitive grants record for the last two years indicates. We will be out of the RAE watch-list next time around for sure. But what it does mean is that we have to work hard to keep the performance on the upward trajectory and we face some headwind. This can work

to our advantage, however, in the sense that the VC and pro-VC (research) know what our challenges are and are fully supportive in helping us make the necessary changes. By simultaneously submitting to the discipline of the post-RAE rewards and punishment regime and making bold steps forward regardless, we receive favour from the powers that be. That leads me to my final point of encouragement: the former Provost’s leaving gift. Just before I went travelling in June the deans were each asked by Provost Professor Roland Chin to prepare a proposal for spending some extra money he was making available at short notice (yes – the Provost’s leaving gift to us, not us to him). I submitted a bid for one new tenure track Assistant Professor position. A day before the deadline, his secretary called me saying that I should bid for much more even though I had worked to the formula given. So I spent a few hours writing a very large bid for extra funds under the categories that the Provost had specified (technology and science focused, associated with the iLab and other HKUrban Lab investments, including Fab Lab). The approval letter (granting even more than I had asked in the enlarged bid) was waiting for me upon my return last weekend. On the basis of Roland’s largess, and more importantly trust in the Faculty in this exciting current period of growth and development, I anticipate being able to advertise the following posts (all in addition to current posts advertised including at least one each in DUPAD, DLA and REC and eight in DoA). The additional HKUrban lab posts are likely to include: 1 tenure-track Associate Professor in Urban Design, to lead a consolidation and expansion of urban design in DUPAD and across departments and divisions, with the possibility of a new MA UD+(LA, ARC, UP etc) degree structure; 1 tenure-track Assistant Professor in Sustainable Cities to lead on the development of an MSc in Sustainable Architecture/High Density Cities (name and focus currently under discussion); 1 tenure-track Assistant Professor in Healthy Cities and Urban GIS to anchor cross-faculty GIS teaching and research (it is already strong in DUPAD) and to lead the Faculty of Medicine-FoA research group and possibly develop a new MSc in public health, planning and architecture; several Post Doc Fellows (in addition to the 5-10 PDF’s already funded by the Provost under a recent funding bid and in addition to the HKU PDF grant just announced); Research Assistants; and last but not least, a robot called Fab-Ian - for the Fab Lab. {Fabian: name of the grape Chasselas, used to make fine wine; a Catholic Saint famous for his organizing ability and for initiating the reconstruction of the Roman catacombs; Fabian Society – intellectual foundation for the decolonized new state of Singapore.} Congratulations to all those mentioned below. Without you the Faculty would be nothing. Chris

2. Dr. Cecilia Chu

- Published a single-authored article, entitled "Spectacular Macau: Visioning Futures

for a World Heritage City," in Geoforum. The paper is part of a Special Issue, entitled "Spectacle Cities," which is co-edited by Cecilia L. Chu (HKU) and Romola Sanyal (LSE). Abstract of the article is as follow: Chu, C.L. (2015), "Spectacular Macau: Visioning Futures for a World Heritage City," Geoforum,doi:10.1016/j.geoforum.2015.06.009 Abstract: This paper examines the conflicting sentiments generated by Macau’s recent developments and how these dynamics have helped galvanize particular visions amongst Macau’s residents holding different possessive relationships to the city. More specifically, it explores these processes through the simultaneous construction of two incongruent landscapes: a fantasyland of gaming and leisure propelled by the liberalization of the casino industry, and a ‘historic city of culture’ exemplified by Macau’s newly acquired UNESCO World Heritage City status. Building on Debord’s conception of the dialectic of the spectacle, this paper illustrates how the growing support for heritage conservation in Macau has been propelled by a shared anxiety over the phenomenal changes brought by an expanding casino industry and concomitant erosion of Macau’s cultural identity. Through extensive interviews with local architects, conservation experts and activists, I elucidate how the designation of Macau as a World Heritage City has helped consolidate particular sets of moral claims around heritage and culture as well as introduced new commodifications of the environment that cannot be easily delinked from other spaces of the “spectacle city.” http://www.sciencedirect.com.eproxy1.lib.hku.hk/science/article/pii/S001671851500158X

- Co-edited a Special Issue, entitled "Spectacle Cities," for Geoforum (with Romola Sanyal). The following is an excerpt from her authored editorial, entitled "Spectacular Cities of Our Time":

Chu, C.L. and Sanyal, R. (2015), "Spectacular Cities of Our time," Geoforum, doi:10.1016/j.geoforum.2015.06.016 Excerpt: This Special Issue focuses on the productive nature of the spectacle. Using spectacular urbanism as a lens, each paper considers how particular kinds of aesthetics, imaginaries and knowledges are mobilized in the ongoing production of urban space in contemporary cities and how these processes give shape to new social relations and aspirations. We posit that a reconsideration of the spectacle dialectic as

conceived by Guy Debord is especially timely given the growing importance of the image and ascendance of the experience economy. These developments also suggest an urgent need for more trans-disciplinary enquiries that are able to connect different domains of knowledge required for analyzing contemporary urban processes. http://www.sciencedirect.com.eproxy1.lib.hku.hk/science/article/pii/S0016718515001657

This paper is co-authored with Dr. Weifeng Li.

- Received the 2015 IACP Karen R. Polenske Best Student Paper Award for the paper titled "A Nighttime Light Imagery Estimation of Ethnic Disparity in Economic Well-being in Mainland China and Taiwan (2001-2013)" presented at the 9th International Association for China Planning Conference in Chongqing, China, June 19-21, 2015. The IACP Technical Review Committee has the following comment on the paper: “This paper is well organized and written. It addresses a timely and important issue in China: economic disparity among ethnic groups. Previous studies rely on the data from yearbooks at fixed administrative boundaries. The paper adopts an innovative approach by using nighttime light imagery as a proxy for economic well-being. It concludes that the human development level of non-Han Chinese is increasing all the time, and the disparity between non-Han Chinese and Han Chinese is reduced.” Karen R. Polenske Best Student Paper Award, established in honor of Massachusetts Institute of Technology Professor Karen Polenske - a prominent regional economist and a leading scholar of China's sustainable development - is awarded annually to student IACP members who present excellent research at major international planning conferences. Currently the IACP presents one Polenske award at their annual conference in China and one Polenske award at their annual

Liu, X., Song, Y., Wu, K., Wang, J., Li, D. and Long, Y. (2015), “Understanding

urban China with open data”, Cities, 47, pp. 53-61 Abstract: A solid understanding of urbanizing China – the world’s largest and most rapidly transforming urban society – calls for improved urban data provision and analysis. This paper therefore looks at major technological, social–cultural, and institutional challenges of understanding urban China with open data, and showcases our attempt at understanding Chinese cities with open urban data. Through our showcases, we hope to demonstrate the usefulness of open urban data in (1) mapping urbanization in China with a finer spatiotemporal scales; (2) reflecting social and environmental dimensions of urbanization; and (3) visualizing urban China at multiple scales.
