How can we make Hong Kong a more attractive, liveable and people-centric city, while responding to the city's evolving economic and social needs?

By being more progressive and agile in our design approach, says acclaimed architect and urban strategist Dennis Ho, founder of Design_Curate_Places.

His vision of Hong Kong includes, among other things, more pedestrian-prioritised streets and well-designed public open spaces, greater interconnectivity between urban centres and their natural surroundings, better utilization of the waterfront, sensitive urban renewal, and greener and more adaptable buildings.

Ho, pictured below with a model of the award-winning Taikoo Green Ribbon net zero tower concept he led during his days at ARUP, spoke with PERSPECTIVE about his bold ideas and insights.
