“…I think this is something glossed over in discussion of the sustainability of heritage buildings. This characteristic of buildings would of course depend on good memory and recognition of such buildings as helped by mapping [32], photos [33], and digital twins [34] P: there is, of course, a route to seeing how mainstream economics can embrace heritage buildings by understanding them as positional or Veblen goods [35]. From the social theorist's point of view, whatever a more puritanical ethics may conclude, it could be argued that the high level of preservation of heritage buildings both in urban and rural contexts in the developed world is because they are such goods.…”

This study represents a trialogue by a town planner, an economist, and a political scientist on the concepts of built heritage and sustainable development in terms of some features in the relationship between sustainable development and economics, sustainable development, built heritage conservation and economics, built heritage conservation and politics, built heritage conservation and sustainable development, and the tension between built heritage conservation vs. conservation/sustainable development. From planning, economic, and political angles, the feasibility and limitations of heritage building conservation in relation to conservation and sustainable development are presented. Compared to ecological conservation, built heritage conservation can easily accommodate sustainable development, as it is certainly a physical dimension for managing cultural heritage conservation. Built heritage as “heritage buildings” can articulate with real estate development via proper conservation planning. Its historical aspect signifies the legitimacy of conservation, while its proprietary aspect renders it fit for betterment.

“…Careless government tree seeding on the sites have created a dense foliage that blocks views of the batteries and threatens the structural integrity of the heritage structures. Unlike Mount Davis Fort or Lung Fu Shan(Lai, Hung and Chua, 2017) near the University of Hong Kong, no NGO has emerged to manage the amenity or environment of the Devil's Peak military area. Bokhara Battery, named after a P&O vessel that in 1873 went aground on a reef offshore the cliff above which the gun emplacements of the battery stand, is remotely located at the southeasternmost tip of Hong Kong Island, Cape D'Aguilar.…”

This paper uses primary economic concepts to discuss, with reference to Hong Kong colonial heritage sites, the possible, but not deterministic, convivial, and antagonistic relationships between heritage conservation and heritage tourism as economic activities recognized by the state. Depending on the level of use, the enabling institutional framework and mechanism, and the mindset of stakeholders, both activities can be mutually exclusive, compatible, interdependent, or codeveloping. Absence of institutional support, notwithstanding government grading, tends to result in a trade-off with an increase in ordinary tourists. While conservation, through signaling, can promote tourism, a certain degree of sustained tourism input is required to promote conservation not just in terms of funding but also in terms of actual conservation. Whether or not heritage conservation and tourism are complementary goods or, better still, able to codevelop depends on the institutional design.
