Workshop
Designing the future of Hong Kong
"How would you like Hong Kong to look like in the future?
To combat the shortage of land in Hong Kong, one of the projects that the government is exploring are the Kau Yi Chau Artificial Islands. Aimed to accommodate 500,000 residents, these islands will have a major influence on our city if built. As they need to be designed for the future, how would you like them to look like? With flying cars, fully covered in green or with towers even taller than the ICC and the IFC?
Join this workshop to get a taste of the work of urban designers and city planners."
