Provisional Urban Council

The Provisional Urban Council is committed to improving the urban
environment with landscape and tree preservation. The services include
landscape design and planting, plant production, horticultural research,
tree maintenance and conservation. During the year, the council
completed 44 landscape projects and planted about 7 000 trees, 29 000
seedlings and one million flowering shrubs. About 90 per cent of these
plants were supplied from the council's nurseries, with the balance
coming from commercial nurseries.

A City Beautification Scheme was launched in June to tie in with the
celebration for reunification of Hong Kong with China. Special decorative
lighting and hand-made lanterns were displayed at key council venues to
enhance the festive atmosphere. Landscape improvements were also
carried out at over 30 roadside amenity plots to beautify the environment.
