Co-rganised by EVD, YMC and AMC

Programme Highlights:-

Regenerate rivers or water discharge channels inside congested built-up area is a hot topic world-wide. After long years of development in such urban environment, rivers or water channels, almost without exception, are getting heavily polluted and deteriorated both in water quality, visual appearance and disrupting seriously the urban fabric of the city. This obviously becomes a scar in a modern city.

In view of this, many governments are trying great efforts to improve the situation for “rivers” in a very poor condition. The technicality and involvement of works are a challenging task for such projects. It involves many complex issues, such as how to arrive at a perfect planning and integrate it into the existing urban fabric, to stop the continual flowing-in of pollutants, carry out the decontamination process, diversion of existing facilities and relocation of inhabitants being interrupted. Finally, it comes the carrying out of the regeneration work majority of which are of civil engineering nature.

In this seminar the Speaker present some representative project cases both in Hong Kong (Kai Tak River) and mainland China that he followed and studied during the last 15 years and show actions in regenerating these “rivers”. The upgrading of the urban environment will also be highlighted.
