City Hunt cum Intergenerational Community Design Competition for Secondary School Students 2019/20
2019-10-17
The growing senior population of Hong Kong has given rise to concerns on how our urban communities can be re-designed to meet the diverse daily needs of different generations and facilitate mutual understanding and support amongst residents. What would you do to create better neighbourhoods for the young and old to live together?
For the first time, the Housing Society is organising the City Hunt cum Intergenerational Community Design Competition where secondary school students are encouraged to take a closer look at our ageing city and become change makers for age-friendly neighbourhoods.
The Competition consists of two parts. Participating teams will first navigate across our city to understand the characteristics and needs of local communities through completing tasks at specific locations in the one-day City Hunt. Shortlisted teams will proceed to the second stage where they will take part in co-creation workshops and present their Intergenerational Community Designs in the finale.
