Chinese Research Center Seminar
Hong Kong’s Reclamation Projects
Dr. Jacky Chan
Land resources are a fundamental element of socio-economic and cultural development, especially for island regions or countries that prioritize land development and utilization. With technological advancements, human society has created or transformed many land environments through reclamation projects. Hong Kong, as a harbor city, is currently planning the “Kau Yi Chau Artificial Islands” project, reclaiming more land to support future economic development. What geological and material conditions need to be considered for these reclamation projects? What are the reclamation projects in Hong Kong? What are the lessons learned from the successes and failures of reclamation projects in the world’s history? The CRC invited Dr. Jacky Chan from ProjecTerrae Limited to share with us his insight on these questions.
Date：Tuesday, April 25
