Timeline

1958

Paulus Johannes Zimmerman (born 8 November 1958), better known as Paul Zimmerman, is a Dutch-born Hong Kong environmentalist, politician and businessman.

He is a former member of the Southern District Council for Pokfulam and CEO of Designing Hong Kong, a group that advocates better urban design.

Zimmerman was born in Rotterdam, Netherlands in 1958, and grew up in the town of Woerden.

He set up a student union in high school and joined the editorial board of an underground newspaper.

When he was 17, in response to the dismissal of several popular teachers, Zimmerman took part in a demonstration in which protesters barricaded the building.

The school was closed for a week and the offending headmaster replaced.

He pursued a Master's programme in Social Science (Economics) at Erasmus University in Rotterdam.

While there, he got into politics with the Democrats 66 (D66).

1984

In 1984, he moved to Hong Kong as a three-month trainee in a Dutch bank to avoid conscription.

1987

Deciding against a banking career, by 1987 he had started his own business, a graphic design firm called Bridge Design, and sold it 10 years later to Caribiner International, organisers of the Hong Kong Handover.

2000

In 2000, he founded a strategy and policy consultancy called the Experience Group.

In the early 2000s, Zimmerman worked alongside businessman Chung Po-yan on a project that later became Designing Hong Kong Harbourfront District, a non-governmental organisation devoted to improving Hong Kong's waterfronts and promoting liveable density.

2001

He continued to work for what later became communications agency Jack Morton until 2001.

2003

He was an executive director at investments umbrella company Jebsen Travel International from 2003 to 2010.

He remains on the Board as a non-executive director.

He retired from the position to focus his efforts on Designing Hong Kong and the Southern District Council.

He is currently the vice-chairman of the Coalition on Sustainable Tourism and Chairman of the Single-Use Beverage Packaging Working Group, best known for its initiative Drink Without Waste.

He is also Chairman of the Professional Commons and director of the Civic Exchange.

2004

The Government set up the Harbourfront Enhancement Committee in 2004 in response to the project.

The project was converted into a company, Designing Hong Kong Limited, founded by him together with Christine Loh, Peter Wong and Markus Shaw.

2006

In 2006, lawmakers Audrey Eu Yuet-mee, Albert Lai Kwong-tak and Ronny Tong Ka-wah asked Zimmerman to join the Civic Party as a founding member.

2012

In 2012, Zimmerman intended to run in the territory-wide District Council (Second) "super seat" in the 2012 Legislative Council election and left the Civic Party when the party refused to nominate him.

He gave up his Dutch citizenship but did not get enough nominations and subsequently endorsed another pro-democracy candidate Frederick Fung.

He also ran in the 2012 election of the Hong Kong delegates to the National People's Congress but was not successful in an election better suited to pro-Beijing candidates.

2014

2016
