Exploring Excellence: Weekend Study Tour of the 2022 GBA Urban Design Awards Winning Projects in Guangzhou and Foshan









HKIUD undertook a weekend study tour to visit GBA Urban Design Awards 2022 winning projects in Guangzhou and Foshan on 23-24 June 2023.

A delegation of 15, comprising Members, Council, and students from HKIUD accredited urban design courses, visited 4 award-winning projects including:

  • Xinhepu Protection, Reuse and Revitalization
  • Green Water Road of High Density Urban Area - Tianhe Ecology Belt Planning
  • Foshan Lingnan Tiandi Master Plan
  • Innovative Practice of Park City- Integrated Design of Foshan Wenhan Lake Park and Surrounding Areas

The tour provided an invaluable opportunity for the delegates to gain in-depth understanding of these iconic projects through site visit and discussion with the design and construction teams. Networking lunches and dinners further aided collaborative efforts with our counterparts in the GBA.

We would like to thank the hosts:
