The Hong Kong Institute of Planners (HKIP) Awards - Young Planners Awardee 2023 Sharing Session

Following our announcement of the Hong Kong Institute of Planners (HKIP) Awards 2023 in the preceding year, we are pleased to invite you to a sharing session featuring Ms. Chin-chin Lam, our recipient of the Young Planners Award 2023 (YPA). This sharing session offers a unique opportunity to hear firsthand from a young professional engaged in climate adaptation and urban resilience.

 

As part of her award journey, Chin-chin conducted two international visits, namely the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP29) in Baku, Azerbaijan and a study visit to the Netherlands.

 

(1)  At COP29, Chin Chin participated in adaptation negotiations as an observer and presented at the Multilevel Action and Urbanization Pavilion. She engaged with global experts, youth, and local governments to understand how climate change is impacting urban areas and how multilevel governance and community action are driving resilience.

 

(2)  In the Netherlands, she explored how cities integrate water into their urban form, visiting the Global Center on Adaptation in Rotterdam, floating communities in Amsterdam, and flood-resilient public spaces including the Water Square and Tidal Park. She also examined play areas designed with rain gardens and wading pools, and studied sustainable transport and regeneration initiatives in Utrecht. Her visit concluded with the Oosterscheldekering storm surge barrier, part of the renowned Delta Works.

 

(3)  She will also share reflections from her current role as a Sustainability Officer in Planning in London, highlighting how climate considerations are being embedded into planning systems.

 

We are keen to understand the planning-related topics Chin-chin has raised and discussed throughout the whole trip. This sharing session will provide valuable context and allow members to engage with Chin-chin’s perspectives on climate change, international collaboration, and the role of planners in shaping a sustainable future.

 

The sharing session will be conducted in online format with details below:

 

Date: 24 November 2025 (Monday)

Time: 7:00pm - 8:30pm

Format: Online via ZOOM

 

Please sign up via the link below by 19 November (Wednesday), come and join us in this inspiring dialogue with Chin-chin!

HKIP ETC “The Hong Kong Story” Series - Fifth Seminar: "Culture, Heritage & History: The Happy Valley & Landscapes Lost and Found" by Dr. Ken Nicolson (14 March 2024)

The Education and Training Committee is pleased to invite you to join the 'Hong Kong Story' series seminar on "Culture, Heritage & History: The Happy Valley & Landscapes Lost and Found", presented by Dr. Ken Nicholson, adjunct associate professor in the University of Hong Kong, and part-time tutor in the University of Edinburgh. Full details of the seminar are in the attached flyer.


Abstract:
The seminar will cover two parts. Dr. Nicolson will first trace the development of the Hong Kong Cemetery in Happy Valley and interpret the dynamic inter-relationship between the built and natural heritage elements that comprise this wonderful cultural landscape. In the second part, Dr. Nicholson will examine why some historical sites were lost and others saved by comparing different heritage landscapes including Tiger Balm Garden, Dragon Garden, Ping Shan and Fanling Wai Village, before concluding with some insights into the role of planners in improving heritage cultural landscapes of Hong Kong.


About the Speaker:

Dr. Nicolson has lived in Hong Kong since 1984 and has worked on a wide variety of landscape design, planning and environmental impact studies throughout South-East Asia. He introduced a new approach to interpreting and conserving heritage sites back in 2000 and has published three books (The Happy Valley, Landscapes Lost and Found and Water Driven) which are considered essential reading for local scholars and students of cultural landscape interpretation, conservation and management. He has won numerous awards, including the 2006 UNESCO Asia-Pacific Award for Culture Heritage Conservation. He is currently an adjunct associate professor with The University of Hong Kong and part-time tutor with the College of Art, Edinburgh University.
