Mr. Barry WILSON
HKIUD, LARB, HKILA, UKLI
Despite excellent public transportation, a population that walks more than any other city and plentiful funds in the public coffers, the Hong Kong public realm remains a miserable battleground of roads, barriers and inaccessible public space. Our ageing population is concerned about their health and wellness in the urban environment. We need new methods of assessment, monitoring and information sharing in order to kickstart new public space development that values long term quality over short term cost effectiveness. We need new forms of collaboration, investment and management that reduces the onus on government to deliver formative solutions. We need proactive lobbying, discussion and above all action to urgently deliver awareness and understanding of the importance of sustainable, futureproofed solutions to urban living.
