Abstract: Hong Kong: A world city in search of a new identity. The case of Hong Kong shows, that any identity of places can only be described as a dynamic and socially determined concept. Hong Kong is seen as a post-colonial, and even more as a world city. The essay verifies the world city status in economic terms, and views it as Hong Kong’s strategy to counterbalance the nationalisation impending with the handover. Emphasis is put on the changing identity of Hong Kong in terms of economics, politics, culture and spaces, which are shown to be closely intertwined.
