Date: Saturday, 16 March 2019

Time: 10:00am – 4:00pm

Venue: AITBuilding, The Chinese University of Hong Kong

The Urban Studies Programme at CUHK and Designing Hong Kong, both Associate Members of the World Urban Campaign are hosting a preparatory workshop for the Third Urban Thinkers Campus. The World Urban Campaign, coordinated by the UN-Habitat, is to rally all stakeholders to the same cause: making cities liveable and sustainable. It aims at engaging all who have a potential to articulate pressing urban issues, propose solutions and commit to shared goals and actions towards realising the New Urban Agenda.

In its 2018 Policy Address, government has announced the “Lantau Tomorrow Vision” project which includes the construction of artificial islands with a total area of about 1,780 hectares. In February, the government of the HKSAR accepted the land supply options recommended by the Taskforce on Land Supply which also include development of brownfields and private agriculture land in the New Territories. The built-up area of Hong Kong makes up 24.3% of land and discounting country parks and other conservation areas (47%), the city has some 29% of its land (mostly in the New Territories) for alternative uses. Hence Hong Kong needs a “New Territories Vision” too!

We will be using the SIX THINKING HATS as a planning tool to facilitate stakeholders to collaboratively identify issues related to developments in the New Territories.

In our previous workshop, participants agreed on principles for good planning of the future of Hong Kong. They called for inter-disciplinary and interdepartmental coordination of regional planning, as well “Small is beautiful” with localised planning and early involvement of urban designers to promote diverse neighbourhoods, for a people-centric, environmentally friendly, sustainable and resilient city.

香港中文大學城市研究課程和創建香港是「世界城市運動」的客席會員，正向聯合國統籌的「世界城市運動」申請舉辦「第三屆城市思想家校園」，題目是「明日新界 - 挑戰及機遇」，目的是探索香港如何實踐聯合國提出的「新城市議程」。為籌備是次「城市思想家校園」，中文大學未來城市研究所、城市研究課程、城市設計碩士學位課程及創建香港共同舉辦一個預備工作坊，希望通過邀請不同持份者和利用「六頂思考帽」(6 Thinking Hats)這工具來整理發展明日新界所需的資料、資源、挑戰和機遇等。

在2018年的施政報告中，香港特區政府公佈「明日大嶼」願景計劃，當中包括1780公頃的東大嶼人工島。今年２月，政府接納土地供應專責小組建議的土地供應方案，包括在新界發展棕地和私人農地。香港已發展土地占總面積的24.3%，郊野公園和其他保育區域占47%，此外，另有29%的土地留作其他用途（大部分位於新界）。有見及此，香港需要一個「明日新界」計劃。

是次預備工作坊透過「六頂思考帽」的方式（包括中立思考的白帽、情感抒發的紅帽、謹慎評估的黑帽、樂觀思考的黃帽、創意思考的綠帽及整合思考的藍帽），讓不同持份者用同一頂帽來思考和探討工作坊的主題並提出意見。在充分聚焦討論一個立場後，再轉換不同帽子，以梳理出不同意見。期望透過您與其他參與者的分享，讓是次活動能得出與主題緊扣的各項重要議題，以便在「第三屆城市思想家校園」進行更深入的探索。
