Public participation is a characteristic manifestation of Hong Kong's historical architecture in the development of social development. Different from the independent promotion of Western communities and the overall leadership of the mainland government, Hong Kong historical architecture has gradually formed a distinctive collaborative conservation model in practice. This paper will analyze and draw on the effectiveness of public participation in historical buildings in Hong Kong to solve the current problems of the protection and renewal of historical buildings in China, the operational modes, institutional guarantees, and public participation, and promote the preservation and renewal of historical buildings in China.
