"Everything's in PLACE" Asia Placemaking SymposiumVery Hong Kong

Lesson 1 - Embracing the Diversity: Encouraging Equal Participation of Stakeholders in Placemaking

Every stakeholder has different backgrounds, needs, core values and vested interests. When it comes to building common ground to take a project ahead, it is never easy to spark their chemistry in ensuring equal participation. This sharing brings together three community partners whose work specialises in empowering the youth, the elderly and the homeless . Join us in a dialogue to unravel how different groups find strength in public participation, and explore possible methods to enable creative, unbiased collaboration between them and the wider community.

Lesson 2 - Capitalising Local Assets: Rejuvenating Ordinary Spaces for Social Good

When it comes to community revitalization, many believe stocktaking local assets and needs is the most effective and ultimate first step to human-centric planning. Join us and three speakers to investigate their keys in mobilising communities in rural villages , residential cores and historic districts to inject new vitality into ordinary spaces!

Lesson 3 - Adapting to the Everchanging: Sustaining Local Efforts in Situ

Placemaking strives to empower community members to voice out and take action in public spaces. However, often hurdled by resource constraints, not every placemaking project could own their permanent "base". Three speakers will share how they utilised shop fronts, pop-up street stations, and rental spaces to ensure long-term community participation in face of the ever-changing social trend and resource availability.
