City Speak XIII-Heritage: How far do we dare to go

How are we going to use the growing list of buildings nominated as heritage sites?

Beyond places of worship, Hong Kong has little experience with conservation. As a result, there are few guidelines and many ideas. Property owners, developers, NGOs, architects, surveyors, engineers, government officials and the public will have to come to terms with how we deal with these choices in Hong Kong, and how we give heritage buildings a new life and purpose.

Join professionals and academics in moving the debate forward at this

CitySpeak event.

越來越多建築物被列入文物建築名單，我們應如何面對？

除了和宗教有關的建築物，香港在文物保育這方面缺乏經驗，有關指引顯然不足但民間對此各有己見；無論是地產商、發展商、非政府組織、建築師、測量師、工程師、政府官員甚至巿民都需要達成一致協議，商討如何作出適當選擇，以及如何為文物建築帶來新生命和新用途。

歡迎參加乙城話，與專家和學者就如何推進文物保育課題一起研究。
