HKIUD+PGBC talk on Kai Tak - Urban Design adds Value on 9 August 2017

The Hong Kong Institute of Urban Design (HKIUD) and Professional Green Building Council (PGBC)

Date: 9 August 2017 (Wednesday)

Time: 6:30 to 8:30pm

Venue: HKIA Premises (19/F, One Hysan Avenue, Causeway Bay, Hong Kong)

Topic: Kai Tak - Urban Design adds Value

Abstract:

Kai Tak has been under the spotlight recently when record-breaking land sale prices came out one after

another. Speculations on developers’ Mainland background and strategies could no longer stand when

lately a local developer tendered and won a Kai Tak site. Then, what are the reasons behind? What

elements does Kai Tak possess that have appealed to these developers? Some say urban design clearly

plays a part. If it does, what have been painted in urban design? In this talk, different perspectives will be

drawn from speakers who have played different roles linked to Kai Tak - Current Head of Kai Tak Office,

President of HKIUD who was also the first Head of Kai Tak Office, Chairman of Kai Tak Harbourfront

Development, and a developer that won the latest land tender at Kai Tak.
