Edward Ho Sing-tin (born in Hong Kong on 2 December 1938) is a registered architect and a fellow of the Hong Kong Institute of Architects, holding the Silver Bauhinia Star, the OBE and the rank of Justice of the Peace. He graduated in architecture from the University of Hong Kong and is registered with the Commonwealth and United States architects' boards. Working early on at Wong Tung International, he took part in planning Mei Foo Sun Chuen, Hong Kong's first large private housing estate, which set standards for residential layout, communal open space and integrated amenities; he later led the design of the Sheraton Hotel in Tsim Sha Tsui, a waterfront landmark, and the comprehensive development of Taikoo Shing, a scheme of 61 towers and more than 12,000 flats built on former dockyard land, with podium gardens, shopping complexes and public art. He was president of the Hong Kong Institute of Architects in 1983-84 and pressed the government to enact the Architects Registration Ordinance, whose professional status was later reflected in Article 142 of the Basic Law. In public service he was appointed to the Basic Law Consultative Committee in 1985, became a Justice of the Peace in 1986 and was appointed to the Legislative Council in 1987, later being re-appointed; in 1991 he was elected for the architectural, surveying and planning functional constituency and also appointed to the Executive Council, and he joined the Co-operative Resources Centre, a body of business and professional figures that prefigured the Liberal Party he later joined. He sat on the Provisional Legislative Council in 1997 and represented the building and planning professions in the legislature until 2000, taking up urban development, building safety and professional registration. Serving on the Town Planning Board in the 1990s, he argued for balanced planning that preserved heritage landmarks and ecological assets alongside high-density development; he chaired the Lord Wilson Heritage Trust from 1993 to 2003 and the Antiquities Advisory Board from 2005 to 2008, and held roles with the Hong Kong Industrial Estates Corporation, the Housing Authority, the Urban Renewal Authority and the MTR Corporation. He was also chairman of the Hong Kong Philharmonic Society's general committee and an advisory professor at Tongji University in Shanghai.
