The inadequate provision of open spaces in urban areas is one of the most recurrent challenges for the Hong Kong government. High-quality open public spaces can significantly increase a city’s attractiveness by encouraging business investment and improving living conditions.
The aim of the workshop is to design proposals to regenerate underused public spaces in Hong Kong in response to local needs. Four teams of 8-10 students led by a group of international architects and urban designers, representing both academia and practice, will develop an urban design intervention to encourage the use of public space with innovative ideas.The workshop is free of charge for all the students.
