城市中的發展與交通息息相關，我們應如何將各種交通網絡互相聯繫，為下一代創建一個適宜居住的環境？
由於半山區發展限制解禁、重建門檻降低、發展密度的壓力日漸增加等因素，令香港多個舊區面臨車流增加和路邊空氣污染的問題。
我們如何處理與中國大陸之間道路聯繫的交通增長？我們還要在海濱興建多少新的道路？公共交通車輛是否太多造成路上堵塞? 將路面行人過路區改為行人隧道或天橋是否恰當?
香港有沒有計畫發展環保的交通運輸和美觀怡人的街道?要創造更適宜行人的道路環境,我們還有什麼寄望? 最新的車輛引擎工程技術可否解決我們面對的問題？香港會在何時推出電子道路收費？新的鐵路線足夠我們使用嗎？啟德、中環及西九有何環保交通計劃？香港有沒有可持續的（運輸）方案？
規劃師、工程師、學者及政府官員將會討論交通系統對我們的城市是利是害？
Development and transport are closely related, but how do we connect the dots and guarantee a livable city for future generations?
Lifting the moratorium in Mid-levels, reducing the threshold for redevelopment and the constant pressure to increase density are all choking the older parts of Hong Kong with more traffic and roadside air pollution.
How do we deal with the increased traffic on new roads to the Mainland? How many more roads are we planning to build on our waterfront? Is there too much public transport clogging up our roads? Is replacing pedestrian crossings with subways and footbridges a good thing?
What plans are there for environmentally friendly transport and aesthetically more pleasing transport infrastructure in Hong Kong? Where are the hopes for making our city more pedestrian-friendly? Can new engine technology solve our problems? Could electronic road pricing help? Will the new rail lines be enough? Do we have a sustainable (transport) plan for our city?
Planners, engineers, academics and officials will discuss whether transport is our solution or our enemy.

City Speak X: A green city. A cool city.
乙城話第十回：潮流綠色城市
香港既是個三面環海、多綠多山的地方，那麼我們需要真的更多市區公共空間嗎？我們該如何對應全球暖化及空間污染？「城市熱島效應」是什麼？「空氣流通評估」又是什麼？社會大眾有多重視公共空間？我們對康樂及運動的需求有否改變？香港需要城市景觀遠景及總綱圖嗎？就確保香港的可持續建築環境的目的而言，「綠色基建」是否變得比道路及鐵路更為重要？
3月6日這一天，專家、學者、規劃師、政府官員及園境師齊聚藝穗會，共同探討如何打造潮流綠色城市。
City Speak X: A Green City, A Cool City
Hong Kong is surrounded by so much water and has so many green mountains, so does it really need more urban open space? How do we respond to the threats of global warming and air pollution? What is the meaning of “the urban heat island effect”? What is an “air ventilation assessment”? What value doesthe community place on open space? Is the demand for recreation and sport changing? Do we need a landscape vision and master plan? Is “green infrastructure” becoming more important than roads and railway lines in securing a sustainable built environment in Hong Kong?
Join experts, academics, planners, government officials and landscape architects in a discussion about how to stay cool in our city.

Thu 8 April 2010 - Uni students & lecturers from Netherlands visit the Fringe Club
We were very glad to host a group of students from the Netherlands on a study trip this April. Most of our visitors were in Asia for the first time and we were genuinely honoured to be part of their Hong Kong itinerary.
The visit started with a presentation on the Fringe Club by Cat. Benny also graced the visit, making a short and light-hearted introduction to the presentation. After being briefly introduced to our multi-national work team, our guests proceeded to enjoy Cat's engaging delve into Fringe Club's history. And it was a colourful history indeed!
After hearing about the myriad of resident artists and heritage projects Fringe was previously involved in, our visitors went shutter happy with a series of massive group shots (below). Having upped the mood, we skipped off to view the rest of the Fringe Club building.
First up, we dropped by the Fringe Theatre. There, our guests could see much of how the Fringe Club has adapted our operations to this odd shaped building that was originally meant as a warehouse.
Next, we trooped upstairs to the Fringe Studio and finally the highly anticipated roof garden. Attracted by the oasis of peace amidst the city that is our roof garden, our guests went shutter happy once again and then settled down happily to a jolly round of beers and wines.
Obviously contented with the drinks and ambiance, we left our special guests to enjoy their drinks at the fotogalerie. And that rounded up yet another wonderful visit to the Fringe Club.
昨天來自荷蘭蒂爾堡大學的2名講師和28名學生來到了香港藝穗會考察，藝穗會的藝術總監謝俊興先生致了歡迎詞，其後行政總監劉錦綾女士給遠道而來的同學們詳盡地介紹了香港藝穗會的發展歷史，同學們也提出很多問題及見解，雙方的熱情使得此次交流氣氛非常活躍。
會後藝穗會還安排了同學們參觀藝穗會的場地設施，天臺花園的開陽景致更使他們留連忘返。
Happy group photo~~
