The Civil Engineering and Development Department (CEDD) was established in July 2004 through amalgamation of the Civil Engineering Department and the Territory
Development Department. Civil Engineering Department evolved through various stages of re-organisation of the then Public Works Department since the late 19th century, while Territory Development Department had succeeded its former New Territories Development Department in taking forward both new town development and urban area
development since early 1970’s.

CEDD provides the following major services:
•	 Provision of land and infrastructure
•	 Port and marine services
•	 Geotechnical services
•	 Environment and sustainability services

CEDD has a headquarters, 2 functional offices (the Civil Engineering Office and the Geotechnical Engineering Office) and 4 regional development offices (the Hong Kong Island and Islands Development Office, the Kowloon Development Office, the New Territories East Development Office and the New Territories West Development Office).

As at March 2016, CEDD has an establishment of 1 822 staff, about two-thirds are professional and technical staff, including civil engineers, geotechnical engineers, surveyors and landscape architects.
