PDD held its Annual Conference at 9am to 1pm on 18th October, 2014 in the Surveyors Learning Centre and more than 80 participants attended. The theme of the said Conference was “Review of Strategies for Planning of Development Space and Renewal”. Since Hong Kong has been facing steady growth in population resulting in housing shortage due to limited development space in the past decades and which is likely to continue in the years ahead, the purpose of the said Conference was to review past efforts and brainstorm strategies for new development space. Our distinguished speakers were Mr. K K Ling JP, Director of Planning; Mr. K L Wong, CEO and Executive Director of Hong Kong Housing Society; Sr Victor So JP, Chairman of Urban Renewal Authority; and Sr P C Lau SBS, Chairman of Hong Kong Coalition of Professional Services. Their talks were very enlightening. All participants learned a lot from the insight of speakers. During the said Conference, there was very good interaction between the speakers and the participants.
PDD representatives will join the CEPA visits to Beijing from 2nd to 5th November, 2014 and we will have a separate meeting with the China National Association of Engineering Consultants on 31st October, 2014 to further discuss the future co-operation with our Division.
PDD will organise its Annual Dinner on 13th November, 2014 (Thursday) from 6:30 to 10:00 pm in World Trade Centre Club, Causeway Bay, Hong Kong. We are happy to invite PDD members, all HKIS members and their guests to attend.
