Philip Au (Chinese: 區達年, 3 April 1916 – 27 October 1993) was a Hong Kong businessman and politician.
[2] In the 1940s to 1950s, refugees arrived from the mainland China into Hong Kong, causing population growth and the local government struggled to accommodate these new immigrants.
[1] He was an active member of the Reform Club of Hong Kong and ran in the 1953 Urban Council election.
In 1958, as a Senior Selected Councillor of Urban Council, Au showed Prince Philip the housing units of North Point Estate.
In 1959, Au gave up his successful export business and political career in Hong Kong and he and his family immigrated to the United States.
He is buried in Albany, California, U.S.[1] After Au's death, his son, Patrick Au, donated most of his personal records, business records, documents and press cuttings related to the Hong Kong Reform Club and photos to the University of Hong Kong Libraries.
