In 2015, the United Nations proposed the “Sustainable Development Goals” (SDGs), providing a blueprint for the world to achieve a better and more sustainable future. Among the 17 SDGs, 10 of them are closely related to urban development and environmental protection. Youth, as the future leaders and decision makers of society, are going to be the core facilitators of the sustainable cities of the future.
In the seminar, Prof. Mee-kam Ng, Dr Vincent S. Y. Cheng, and Prof. Anthony Y. H. Fung were invited to share their views on the role and potential of young people in developing sustainable cities. The seminar covered four main topics: (1) The definition and concept of a sustainable city, (2) Hong Kong’s urban development and related policies, (3) A comparison between Hong Kong and countries along the Belt and Road Initiative, and (4) Youth’s role and potential in developing a sustainable city.
Around 40 participants attended the seminar.
