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.
