呢一頁係大事記嘅全部條目（全量），按年代切開只係編排，冇篩選、冇抽樣、冇改寫：每一條都仍然係已核日大事，附第一官方來源同文獻座標。
This page holds every milestone of the era — the decade cut is arrangement only. Nothing is filtered, sampled or rewritten: each entry is still a checked, dated milestone with its primary official source and archive coordinate.
條目數係收錄密度，唔係歷史事件密度：某個年代條目多，反映嘅係來源（官方年報、舊報紙、政府公報）喺嗰個年代留低幾多可核對嘅紀錄。
An entry count is recording density, not event density: more entries in a decade reflect how much verifiable record the sources left behind, not that more happened.
每條條目嘅 id 錨點同志錄自己嘅錨點係兩套唔同嘅物件：呢度嘅 EV-… 錨點只屬大事記層，唔會令條目變成《香港志》志錄條目。

1970 · 油尖旺（尖沙咀） · 年級（政府一站通記九龍公園1970年由威菲路軍營改建落成）。
九龍公園由威菲路軍營遺址改建落成，為尖沙咀最大型的公園。
Kowloon Park opens on the former Whitfield Barracks site, the largest park in Tsim Sha Tsui.
背景 九龍公園於1970年在威菲路軍營舊址改建落成，是尖沙咀最大的公園。軍營原為駐港英軍用地，改建後把軍事地段轉為市民共享的休憩空間，園內設鳥湖及室內泳池等設施。昔日軍營用地自此成為市民日常使用的公園，也反映戰後九龍市區人口增長下，政府對公共康樂場所的需求。
Kowloon Park opened in 1970 on the site of the former Whitfield Barracks, becoming the largest park in Tsim Sha Tsui. The barracks had served as a British military site; its conversion turned military land into public recreational space, with facilities such as a bird lake and an indoor pool. Once the home of a garrison, the grounds now offer recreation for residents and visitors alike, reflecting the growing demand for public leisure space amid the rapid post-war growth of Kowloon's urban population.

法律援助署正式成立，為市民提供法律援助服務。
The Legal Aid Department is formally established to provide legal aid services to the public.
背景 戰後香港人口大增、社會事務日趨複雜，市民在訴訟中往往難以負擔法律代表的費用。一九七零年七月一日，法律援助署正式成立，為合資格市民提供法律代表，涵蓋民事及刑事案件。部門的設立使法律援助制度化，讓經濟能力有限的市民亦可循司法途徑處理糾紛。
After the war Hong Kong's population grew sharply and social affairs became more complex, yet many residents could not afford legal representation in litigation. On 1 July 1970 the Legal Aid Department was formally established to provide legal representation to eligible residents in both civil and criminal cases. Its creation put legal aid on a formal institutional footing, allowing people of limited means to pursue disputes through the courts. The service gradually became an established part of the territory's justice system.

粉嶺／上水作為第二代新市鎮展開規劃。
Planning begins for Fanling/Sheung Shui as a second-generation new town.
背景 1971年，政府為粉嶺／上水展開新市鎮規劃，屬香港第二代新市鎮。規劃涵蓋粉嶺、上水及聯和墟一帶，配合北區的人口增長及工業邨發展。新市鎮計劃把公共房屋、社區設施與工業用地一併納入規劃，令原先以墟市為主的北區逐步城市化，日後成為容納大量人口的新市鎮。
In 1971 the government began planning Fanling/Sheung Shui as a new town, one of Hong Kong's second-generation new towns. The plan covered Fanling, Sheung Shui and Luen Wo Hui, matching population growth and industrial-estate development in the North District. By bringing public housing, community facilities and industrial land into one plan, it gradually urbanised a district previously centred on market towns, which later housed a large population and saw its growth shaped for decades to come.

颱風露絲襲港，天文台發出十號颶風信號。
Typhoon Rose hits Hong Kong; the No.10 signal is issued.
背景 颱風露絲於1971年8月17日襲港，天文台發出十號颶風信號。風暴期間，一艘往來香港與澳門的客輪在海上沉沒，造成嚴重傷亡。這宗海難發生在十號信號生效之時，凸顯颱風對海上交通及航行的危險，也令露絲成為香港颱風史上傷亡慘重的個案之一。
Typhoon Rose hit Hong Kong on 17 August 1971, and the Observatory issued the No.10 hurricane signal. During the storm a passenger ferry plying between Hong Kong and Macao sank at sea with heavy casualties. Occurring while the highest signal was in force, the disaster underlined the danger typhoons pose to sea crossings and shipping, and made Rose one of the deadliest typhoon episodes in Hong Kong's history. Sea and ferry services are suspended when the signal is raised, since harbour crossings become especially dangerous.

More berths were added in the years that followed, steadily raising the port's capacity. The shift to containerisation changed the way the port handled cargo and helped lift Hong Kong into the ranks of the world's leading container ports.

港府宣布港元與美元掛鈎，匯率固定為每美元兌5.65港元，實施聯匯雛形。
The Hong Kong Government pegs the Hong Kong dollar to the US dollar at HK$5.65 per US dollar, an early form of the linked exchange rate system.
背景 1972年6月28日，港府宣布港元與美元掛鈎，匯率固定為每美元兌5.65港元，實施聯匯雛形。由於英國讓英鎊自由浮動，港元改與美元掛鈎，屬港元匯制嘅重要轉折。呢次改動結束咗港元同英鎊掛鈎嘅安排，係香港貨幣制度走向自主嘅一步，亦係日後聯繫匯率制嘅雛形。
On 28 June 1972 the Hong Kong Government pegged the Hong Kong dollar to the US dollar at HK$5.65 per US dollar, an early form of the linked exchange rate system. As Britain allowed sterling to float, Hong Kong switched its peg to the US dollar, a key turn in its exchange-rate regime. The change ended the long-standing link between the Hong Kong dollar and sterling and was a step towards a more autonomous monetary system for the territory. The peg to the US dollar thus replaced the earlier link with sterling.

背景 1972年8月，香港理工學院在紅磡成立。學院由多間工業專門院校合併而成，前身可追溯至1937年的官立高級工業學院，以培訓工業及技術人才為職志。1994年，學院獲大學地位，正名為香港理工大學，成為本地重要的應用型高等學府。其發展反映香港工業起飛對職業技術教育的需求。
In August 1972 the Hong Kong Polytechnic was established in Hung Hom, formed by merging several technical institutes. Its roots trace to the Government Trade School of 1937, and it was dedicated to training industrial and technical manpower. In 1994 it gained university status and became The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, a leading applied higher-education institution. Its growth reflects the demand for vocational and technical education during Hong Kong's industrial take-off, when a skilled workforce was urgently needed.

紅磡海底隧道（紅隧）正式通車，是第一條連接港九的海底隧道。
The Cross-Harbour (Hung Hom) Tunnel opens — the first road tunnel linking Hong Kong Island and Kowloon.
背景 1972年8月2日，紅磡海底隧道正式通車，成為第一條連接港島與九龍的行車海底隧道。通車初期私家車收費為港幣5元，在此之前，市民往來港九主要依賴渡輪。紅隧落成後改變了港島與九龍之間的日常交通方式，令過海通勤更為便捷，亦帶動兩岸市區的聯繫與發展。
The Cross-Harbour (Hung Hom) Tunnel opened on 2 August 1972 as the first road tunnel linking Hong Kong Island and Kowloon. Private cars were charged HK$5 at first, and until then residents had mainly relied on ferries to cross the harbour. By providing a direct road link, the tunnel transformed everyday travel between the two sides, making cross-harbour commuting easier and strengthening ties between the urban areas on either shore.

香港海底隧道（紅磡海底隧道）通車，為香港首條過海行車隧道。
The Cross-Harbour Tunnel opens, the first underwater road tunnel in Hong Kong linking Hung Hom and Causeway Bay.
背景 1972年8月3日，紅磡海底隧道通車，成為香港首條過海行車隧道，連接九龍紅磡與港島銅鑼灣。隧道由私人財團以「建造、營運、移交」模式興建，通車初期設有人手收費亭。在隧道出現之前，市民主要依靠渡輪往來維港兩岸，海底隧道的啟用改變了過海的交通方式。
On 3 August 1972 the Cross-Harbour Tunnel opened as Hong Kong's first underwater road tunnel, linking Hung Hom in Kowloon with Causeway Bay on Hong Kong Island. A private consortium built it under a build-operate-transfer arrangement, and it opened with manned toll booths. Before the tunnel, crossing Victoria Harbour depended largely on ferries; the new road link changed how people and vehicles moved between the two sides of the harbour, encouraged further cross-harbour development, and soon became a heavily used artery of the city.

The Hong Kong Housing Authority was formally established in 1973 under the Housing Ordinance to oversee the construction and management of public housing estates. It took over the earlier bodies responsible for resettlement housing and low-cost housing, bringing public housing matters under one organisation. With the authority's creation, the planning, building and management of public housing came to follow a more unified framework. Previously the work had been split among more than one body, and the new authority was intended to coordinate policy and estate management more effectively.

The main hall of the Sik Sik Yuen Wong Tai Sin Temple, known as the Chek Sui Wong Tai Sin Hall, was rebuilt and completed in 1973, and was opened by the then Governor, Sir Murray MacLehose. The reconstruction was one of the temple's major post-war maintenance projects. With the rebuilt hall, the temple's spaces for worship and religious activities were renewed. That the Governor officiated at the opening reflected the temple's standing in the territory at the time, and the temple in Chuk Yuen remains a major place of worship.

The Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) is established to fight corruption, independent of the police.
背景 廉政公署（ICAC）於1974年2月15日正式成立，專責肅貪，並獨立於警隊。1970年代警隊貪污問題嚴重，時任港督麥理浩任命姬達（Jack Cater）為首任廉政專員，成立當日即開始收受舉報。廉署以獨立於警隊的架構運作，透過調查、防貪與教育三方面工作打擊貪污，往後成為香港廉潔社會的重要制度基礎。
The Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) was formally established on 15 February 1974 to fight corruption, operating independently of the police. With police corruption widespread in the 1970s, Governor MacLehose appointed Jack Cater as the first Commissioner, and the ICAC began receiving reports from its first day.

背景 長期以來，香港的立法及司法程序主要以英文進行，中文的地位並未正式確立。一九七四年二月十五日，《法定語文條例》生效，訂明中文與英文同為香港法定語文。條例為中文在法律程序中的使用提供依據，政府其後逐步推行中文在立法及司法程序中的應用，是香港語文政策的重要一步。
For a long time Hong Kong's legislative and judicial proceedings were conducted mainly in English, and the status of Chinese was not formally established. On 15 February 1974 the Official Languages Ordinance came into effect, providing that Chinese and English were both official languages of Hong Kong. The ordinance gave a basis for the use of Chinese in legal proceedings, and the government gradually introduced Chinese in legislative and court processes, an important step in the territory's language policy.

In the post-war decades Hong Kong's industry and consumer market expanded quickly, leaving consumers with few strong channels when they faced problems over the quality or price of goods and services. In April 1974 the Consumer Council was established as a statutory body to protect consumer rights. It tests and researches consumer goods and services and promotes consumer education, and it has since become the territory's main body handling consumer affairs.

太古城於太古船塢原址開始興建，為香港大型私人屋苑。
Taikoo Shing begins construction on the former Taikoo Dockyard site, a large private housing estate.
背景 太古船塢自十九世紀末已在鰂魚涌運作，戰後船塢業務式微，原址騰空後由太古地產發展為住宅。1975年動工，第一期洞庭閣於1977年開售。屋苑採用當時少見的整體規劃，把商場與住宅、休憩空間結合成自足社區，是香港大型私人屋苑的重要例子，其後亦成為同類屋苑規劃的參考。
The Taikoo Dockyard had operated at Quarry Bay since the late nineteenth century, but shipbuilding there declined after the Second World War, and the cleared site was taken up by Swire Properties for housing. Construction began in 1975, with the first block, Tung Ting Mansion, going on sale in 1977. Planned as an integrated estate that combined homes, shops and open space, Taikoo Shing offered a degree of self-containment then unusual for private housing and became a reference for later Hong Kong estates.

背景 市政局於1975年在旺角通菜街劃設小販認可區，把街頭小販集中管理，形成通菜街市集。該處因早年以售賣女裝衣物及飾物為主，故俗稱「女人街」。認可區的設立既回應當年小販在街頭擺賣的情況，也把露天市集納入規管，令它與廟街並列為香港最具代表性的露天市集。
In 1975 the Urban Council set up a hawker permitted zone on Tung Choi Street in Mong Kok, grouping street hawkers under regulation and forming the Tung Choi Street market. As it mainly sold women's clothing and accessories in its early years, it became popularly known as the Ladies Market. Creating permitted zones responded to widespread street hawking and brought the open-air market under supervision, and the site ranks with Temple Street as one of Hong Kong's signature open-air markets.

In 1975 the government designated a hawker permitted zone on Temple Street in Yau Ma Tei, bringing street hawking there under regulation and forming the Temple Street night market. The market became famed for fortune-telling, singing and snacks, and because of its low prices and lively evenings it was nicknamed the poor man's night club.

背景 1976年，《郊野公園條例》制定，正式確立郊野公園與特別地區的制度框架。條例為郊野公園及特別地區提供法定基礎，令政府可依法劃定和保護郊野地帶。其後香港陸續劃定城門、獅子山等多個郊野公園，郊野保育遂有穩定的制度依靠。立法會研究文件把這一年列為香港受保護地區制度的起點。
In 1976 the Country Parks Ordinance was enacted, formally establishing the statutory framework for country parks and special areas. The ordinance gave a legal basis for country and special areas, allowing the government to designate and protect countryside areas in law. Hong Kong subsequently designated parks such as Shing Mun and Lion Rock, giving countryside conservation a stable institutional footing. A LegCo research paper records this year as the starting point of Hong Kong's protected-areas system.

The new General Post Office opened on 11 August 1976, taking over from the old building completed in 1911 at the corner of Pedder Street and Des Voeux Road. About three months after the new building began operating, the old GPO was demolished and the World-Wide House was later built on the site. The move reflected a reorganisation of Central's core functions and served the needs of MTR Central station construction; the surrounding area of Central continued to be rebuilt with commercial towers and railway works.

蒲台島西南岸石刻列為法定古蹟，確認先民於海上帝國遺留下的古代紋飾。
The Po Toi Island rock carvings are declared a monument on 27 Apr 1979, ancient carvings left by coastal inhabitants.
背景 蒲台島西南岸石刻於1979年4月27日列為法定古蹟。石刻紋飾似動物圖案，反映先民的海上活動，其位置正在島的西南岸。蒲台島處於香港南端海域，向來是沿海社群活動之地。以法例Cap.53B公告列入保護，是本地古代石刻群之一。同類石刻在港島及離島亦有發現。
The rock carvings on the southwest shore of Po Toi Island were declared a monument on 27 April 1979. Their geometric and animal-like motifs reflect the maritime life of early inhabitants, and they lie on the island's southwest coast. Po Toi lies off the southern tip of Hong Kong, an area long used by coastal communities. Their declaration brought them within the territory's system of statutory protection, and they are among several ancient carvings protected in Hong Kong. Such carvings are rare records of the area's earliest inhabitants.

颱風荷貝襲港，天文台發出十號颶風信號。
Typhoon Hope hits Hong Kong; the No.10 signal is issued.
背景 颱風荷貝於1979年8月2日襲港，天文台發出十號颶風信號，是1970年代少見的一次十號信號。荷貝的路徑接近香港，令本港直接受到颶風吹襲。十號信號生效期間，市民須停止外出，公共交通及渡輪服務亦需調整，對當日的社會運作造成明顯影響。
Typhoon Hope struck Hong Kong on 2 August 1979 and brought the No.10 hurricane signal, a rare event in the 1970s. Hope tracked close to Hong Kong, so the territory was directly affected by hurricane-force winds. While the No.10 signal was in force, people had to stay off the streets and public transport and ferry services were adjusted, disrupting the day's normal activity. The 1979 storm is remembered for its close approach and the widespread disruption it caused.

香港首條地鐵「修正早期系統」投入服務，觀塘為東端總站。
The first MTR line, the Modified Initial System, enters service with Kwun Tong as the eastern terminus.
背景 1979年10月1日，香港首條地鐵「修正早期系統」投入服務，觀塘成為東端總站，首段由石硤尾至觀塘。這是香港首次出現的集體運輸鐵路系統，改變了九龍東居民依賴巴士與渡輪的出行方式。系統其後逐年伸延，並於1980年過海直達中環。作為東端總站，觀塘一帶的居民及工廠區自此多了一種快捷的跨區交通選擇。
On 1 October 1979 Hong Kong's first metro line, the Modified Initial System, entered service, with Kwun Tong as its eastern terminus and an initial section running from Shek Kip Mei to Kwun Tong. It was the territory's first mass-transit railway and changed how residents of eastern Kowloon travelled, away from reliance on buses and ferries. The system was extended year by year and crossed the harbour to Central in 1980.

背景 1979年10月12日，港督麥理浩宣布「十年建屋計劃」，目標十年內為180萬人提供居所。計劃帶動新市鎮及公共房屋嘅大規模建設，改寫香港嘅居住面貌。呢項計劃係回應當時住屋需求嘅重要政策，亦推動咗日後新市鎮嘅發展。計劃推出之後，新市鎮同公共房屋成為香港城市發展嘅重要方向。
On 12 October 1979 Governor Murray MacLehose announced the Ten-Year Housing Programme, which aimed to provide housing for 1.8 million people within a decade. The programme drove large-scale construction of new towns and public housing and reshaped Hong Kong's housing landscape. It was a major policy response to the housing needs of the time and helped to push forward the development of new towns in the years that followed. The programme set out a clear target and timeframe for building homes for a large share of the population.
