N2 - Tactile guild paths (TGP) have got changes in designs and constructions all the times. In the recent years, meaning and function of the urban area have got changes too. Hong Kong is a densely populated city. Taking Hong Kong as a case study, this paper presents a comprehensive review on the design, construction and using of TGP in the city. It further identifies some key ergonomic considerations for the design of TGP for new urban changes and needs, i.e., not only for the visually impaired but also inclusively for other users. The paper also discusses what and how TGP should be more designed with the consideration of new technologies.
