From the Kowloon Incident of 2003, the redevelopment proposal put forward by the residents of Lee Tung Street in Wan Chai in 2004, and the proposal to demolish Queen's Pier in 2005, to last year's decision to go ahead with the removal of the pier and expand the scope of land reclamation, activists seeking to preserve Hong Kong's historical culture have won some battles and lost others.
從 2003 年的西九龍案、2004 年灣仔利東居民的自主重建計畫、2005 年的天星碼頭拆除案，一直到去年定案的拆除皇后碼頭、擴大填海範圍案。在跟政府的拉鋸中，試圖在歷史文化上搶救老香港的行動有時贏，有時落敗，但已讓外界眼睛一亮。
