HKIUD will continue to bring together various professional bodies committed to improving the quality of urban design in Hong Kong, and to foster greater awareness of the challenges involved in building a smart, resilient and liveable urban environment. The production of an URBAN DESIGN PROTOCOLS / COMPENDIUM is an important part of this process, and comes at a crucial time when Government is implementing large-scale harbourfront development, urban renewal initiatives and an ambitious housing programme. The Compendium is intended to be a wide-ranging and practical document, drawing on creative thinking and current best practice in Hong Kong and other cities that have some relevance to the local situation.
