Sustainable Place-Making in Hong Kong: Transforming Urban Crisis to Urban Renewal Opportunities

Research output: Journal article publicationJournal articleAcademic researchpeer-review

Abstract

As the discipline of architecture and urban design develop renewed interests in social responsibility associated with
participatory design and collaborative place-making, it becomes more critical to review the potential and limitations
in current collaboration process. The intrinsic proposition of bottom-up planning implies new approaches on how
architecture operates in the context of modernity to manifest itself in the discourse of urban crisis. By examining
case studies in the Asian context, we observe an emerging design pedagogy in Hong Kong which involves
interdisciplinary coalition of professionals and local stakeholders in community development as an architectural
rubric when confronted with social and urban crisis.
