Climate change has brought more extreme weather to Hong Kong and its impact to our drainage system could be substantial.

Building flood resilience in the drainage infrastructure becomes more important in this ever changing world. In this presentation, the speaker will share with the participants how Drainage Services Department is shaping Hong Kong into a climate ready and flood resilient city with the change of drainage infrastructure design – from a “resistance” approach to a more sustainable “resilient” approach.
