This course equips students with the capacity to understand and participate in Hong Kong cultural policy analysis and planning in the local condition and the global context. This will be achieved through (1) critical classroom lessons, where students will learn to review and analyze the government’s past policy practices, as well as cross-cultural comparative cases of other cities in the world; (2) in-the-field action research, where students will do a critically-framed fieldwork project outside the classroom, and (3) through innovative and interactive modes of knowledge enhancement and propagation through the internet
