Organised by HKIE-EVD, HKIE-YMC and HKIE-AMCProgramme
Highlights:-
For historical reasons, many remote villages in Hong Kong
have lost its population to the city and overseas. Without a resident population, some villages have
seen their houses decaying rapidly, which in turn discourages the return of
indigenous villagers. There is a real
risk of these villages disappearing, together with the loss of invaluable
cultural assets. This seminar will
examine this problem and discuss what might be done to revive rural communities
in remote villages. The projects at Lai
Chi Wo 荔枝窩will be
presented as examples.
Speaker
Mr Lam Chiu Ying (林超英)
is Chairman of the Environmental Campaign Committee. In his capacity as Chairman of the Hong Kong
Countryside Foundation, he is the initiator of the village revival efforts at
Lai Chi Wo.
