A platform for research: civil engineering, architecture and urbanism
Facilities management development in Hong Kong
The area of facilities management (FM) has grown significantly in recent years. The principles of FM were initially developed in the United States and then exported world-wide. The UK and parts of Europe are beginning to reap rewards in terms of better industrial practices and efficiency. These have been made possible by the use of benchmarking and the identification of best practices; both within a particular industry and also outside them. FM has only recently been adopted in Asia. This paper will analyse the development of practice, research and education, particularly in Hong Kong. Comparisons will also be drawn between the Asian examples and the UK.
