This summer, we were delighted to welcome aspiring city-builders to Smart City Explorers, a five-day programme developed with HKUโs Department of Real Estate and Construction. Together, students explored how surveying, technology, sustainability, and people-centred design can shape the cities of tomorrow. ๐๏ธ
Over 5 days, students experienced:
๐บ๏ธ Day 1 โ Surveying the Future of Our Built Environment
Students explored the role of surveyors in land development and experienced emerging tools such as VR/AR, LiDAR, and robotics.
๐๏ธ Day 2 โ Managing Construction Projects
Through an interactive building game, students discovered the planning, coordination, and decision-making behind successful construction projects, followed by valuable conversations with HKU alumni and student helpers.
๐ Day 3 โ Geospatial Technologies and Building Innovation
From ArcGIS mapping to model-building challenges, students learned how spatial data and building technologies support smarter, more sustainable urban development.
๐๏ธ Day 4 โ Real Estate and Future Developments.
Students explored real estate finance and visited GO PARK Sai Sha, gaining first-hand insight into the connections between development, community, and the built environment.
๐๏ธ Day 5 โ Conserving the Future
The programme concluded with a look at architectural conservation, an HKU campus treasure hunt, and a closing ceremony celebrating new friendships, fresh perspectives, and memorable learning experiences.
The highlights? From immersive site visits and hands-on workshops to inspiring lectures and meaningful connections with HKU students, alumni, and industry professionals, participants stepped into the role of future urban innovators. ๐ก
