Abstract	This paper first discusses sustainable urban development, a concept highly compatible, if not fundamental, to the realization of open building formation and design, which serves as a framework for assessing Hong Kong's compact urban form. This is supplemented by the results of a survey conducted by CUPEM for the ProyectoCITIES project' on perceptions of Hong Kong's urban development by different stakeholders: the private sector, the public sector and civil society. The survey2 results show varying degrees of discrepancy between the perceived level of excellence and level of priority held by these various groups towards a number of physical, socio-economic, environmental and governance conditions in Hong Kong. While all these stakeholders seem to view certain indicators as important, for example the "quality of city's surroundings and water features", "overall environment of the city", "social cohesion" etc, they seem to differ on other issues. We correlate these findings with Hong Kong's hture development plans and find that there are several priorities of all the stakeholders that are not adequately addressed. Hong Kong should develop sustainable goal oriented strategies through community empowerment and participation that reflect people's priorities. Implementation of these strategies through good governance practices should carry forward these perceptions to "reality".
