About the Event:

In modern metropolises like Hong Kong, Singapore and Shanghai the balancing act between urbanisation and sustainability continues to be both challenge and an opportunity. We bring together unique perspectives on this from an architect, a developer and an end-user on sustainable buildings in Hong Kong, the various stages of their life cycle and their impact to our environment. We will discuss new architectural trends to make buildings greener but still profitable for the developer and the motivation of end-users and their willingness to pay a premium for green buildings.

Join us in this discussion as we explore this fascinating topic about bringing together urbanisation and sustainability in green buildings.
