Topic: Place audit, urban planning procedures and realising placemaking projects
Date: 20 February 2021 (Saturday)
Time: 2:00 – 5:00 p.m. (HK Time)
Detail:
Place audit is a tool for us to gain a multi-faceted overview of our neighbourhood. After conducting a place audit, we will be able to identify strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats in a place. On the other hand, familiarisation with the existing planning system can help us formulate suitable strategies for proposing and realising community planning and placemaking projects.
