The Hong Kong Institute of Urban Design (HKIUD) is pleased to announce the hosting of its 8th International Conference, themed "Happiness and Well-being in Urban Design: Shaping Joyful City”. In an era of rapid urbanization in Hong Kong, the concept of the "Happy City" serves as a vital framework for reimagining urban living, aligning with the vision of “Pursuit of Happiness” outlined in the latest Policy Address. This year’s conference aims to explore how thoughtful urban design can enhance the quality of life for urbanites, fostering happiness, well-being, and community engagement. Under the theme " Happiness and Well-being in Urban Design: Shaping Joyful City," HKIUD will unite professionals from both local and international backgrounds, as well as Government departments and Organizations, to discuss innovative strategies and visions that prioritize the human experience in urban environments.
Through keynote speeches and panel discussions, international keynote speakers and local panelists will share best practices, case studies, and visionary ideas illustrating how urban design can transform cities—especially Hong Kong—into happier, healthier, and more sustainable places to live, to work and thrive. By prioritizing well-being in urban design, we can cultivate communities that not only survive but also thrive, ultimately leading to a more joyful urban experience for all.
