In the 2020-21 academic year, EdUHK and HKUST cooperate again to host 6 policy dialogue sessions. Professor Anthony Cheung is joined by another professor (plus other speaker as appropriate) in the relevant field to explore some contemporary public policy challenges facing Hong Kong, as follows:
(1) Still ‘Two Systems’?: Hong Kong under national security law and new global geopolitical environment [already held]
(2) The Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic: Crisis management, and governance and policy priorities [already held]
(3) The Fury of Young People: Aspirations, mobility, and identity politics
(4) Housing Affordability: Can there be breakthrough solutions?
(5) The Constraint City: Livability, mobility, connectivity and sustainability
(6) ‘Hong Kong China’: Global city or just another city of China?
The Policy Dialogue Series is interactive and encourages the participation of the EdUHK and HKUST community.
Due to the implementation of public health measures to reduce the spread of the COVID-19 virus on university campuses, the Policy Dialogue Series adopts an online mode via zoom. Should the situation allow in future, an additional physical seminar will be held at EdUHK/ HKUST campus. More details will be announced later.
All are welcome!
