ULI and Arup hosted a workshop on 29 November and 6 December 2024. The goal was to address a fundamental challenge in urban development: the tendency for expertise and decision-making to remain isolated within professional silos. By bringing together around 40 participants from diverse fields, including developers, financiers, engineers, designers and academics, we created an environment where cross disciplinary innovation could flourish. The two-day format, focused on real sites in San Tin and Sham Shui Po, allowed participants to move from theoretical discussions to practical solutions.
This report synthesises key learnings from the workshop into practical recommendations for industry leaders. The solutions developed for San Tin and Sham Shui Po demonstrate how integrated approaches can be applied to both new development and urban regeneration. By understanding these insights, decision-makers can better position their organisations to create value while contributing to a more resilient and sustainable Hong Kong.
