Abstract
- Hong Kong sees a new wave of community organization and resistance brought by urban redevelopment and social work reform after 2003. Its goals resemble that of anti-urban redevelopment community organizing in Vancouver in the 1970s. Yet the community organizers and residents painstakingly opt for unprecedented professional means. This strategy works exceptionally well to achieve Alinsky's original goals. This article compares these scenarios to analyse the considerations and effectiveness of this new strategy.
