A Few Words from the Editor
W
ELCOME to the latest issue of Sphere.
Our cover story looks at the important
issue of urban renewal. The process is
complex, bringing together economic, physical, social
and environmental agendas to help meet the public’s
ever-higher aspirations. The new five-star Harbour
Grand Hong Kong hotel in North Point is ready to
meet this challenge and follow a long tradition of
Hutchison developments improving the urban
landscape and making a difference to people’s lives.
We also discover why Watsons has been so successful
in China’s huge but complex retail market and look at
the wonderful work of the Caritas Family Crisis Line
& Education Centre. There are also some words of
advice from Cheung Kong chief Victor Li for
graduating students in Canada.
There’s still time to visit Macau, the former
Portuguese territory that has changed almost beyond
recognition in the last decade. But behind all the glitz,
there is enough of the old Macau left to please visitors
and locals alike.
