Urban Futures: Hong Kong with Arup

Dear all,

We want to thank everyone who participated in the transdisciplinary project in collaboration with Arup’s Foresight Team to explore emerging issues shaping the future of Hong Kong. This project provided an opportunity for undergraduate students from all disciplines to undertake original research and develop key skills in critical thinking and visual communication. We hope that the project helped participants gain unique perspectives on Hong Kong’s future and contributed to their personal and academic growth.

As an important part of the project, students produced cards that highlighted urban issues that Hong Kong will face in the future. Each card contains an issue title, a short description and an illustration. The issues are organized according to their primary area of influence across the STEEP framework: Social, Technological, Economic, Environmental, or Political. While each issue is assigned to one category, it will always have implications for all five. The cards are designed to develop your own activities in a myriad of contexts. These cards are available for download at: https://www.arup.com.hk/marketing/2024/Urban_Futures_Hong_Kong/index.html

Thank you again for your participation in this exciting project!

Regards,
Common Core Office
