Hong Kong's historic Government Hill is under threat of irreversible destruction with the 2009 government decision to sell a large section of this land to a property developer, the demolition of the West Wing of the Central Government Offices and the construction of a 32-storey commercial tower. This booklet outlines the historical and social significance of Government Hill; the architectural merits of the West Wing; and , explains the implications on urban planning if this decision is carried out.
