THE “NEW” NEW TOWN
A Study in Future Urbanism in Hong Kong
Students and staff from the MSc in Urban Design programme at The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK), in collaboration with AECOM, are participating in this year’s ‘Time Space Existence’ exhibition organised by the European Cultural Centre during the Venice Architecture Biennale 2023. The exhibition features studies on the historic, current and future planning models of Hong Kong urban developments. Through analytical studies, field work and speculative design, the work documents design and community processes that shape vibrant and supportive urban districts. Exploring opportunities for the designing the “New” New Town, the exhibition highlights strategies for socially and environmentally sustainable urban design. It features student work from studios taught by Jessica Cheung, Melody Yiu, Hana Huang, Jeroen van Ameijde, Matthew Gevers and Darren Snow.
The exhibition is free and open to the public at Palazzo Mora, Venice from 20 May to 26 November 2023
