In a time of unprecedented global challenges, the need for researchers and designers to address sustainability has rarely been more obvious. As the world is becoming increasingly aware of the impact of ongoing urbanisation and resource consumption on of our fragile ecosystems, human and planetary health, there is a renewed urgency to explore insights and solutions around sustainable urban environmental design. While there is a wide range of sustainability initiatives, these often focus on single systems in isolation. There is a lack of approaches that consider the overall environmental performance of urban areas, and how these shape everyday urban processes and activities, and quality of life.
The new lecture course “Environmental Design for Liveable and Healthy Cities” is aimed at providing a comprehensive and multidisciplinary understanding of sustainable and environmental design, by gathering and connecting a wide range of contemporary perspectives from academia and practice.
Open to all CUHK students and staff – you may join in person or via Zoom.
