公共政策對話系列｜發展vs.環境：不可調和的困境？

The ‘Policy Dialogue Series’ has entered its fifth annual series. This year, Professor Anthony Cheung Bing-leung, Professor Lui Tai-lok and other speakers will continue to explore critical issues and public policy challenges facing Hong Kong.

In the coming sessioins, entitled ‘Development vs Environment: An irreconcilable dilemma?’, the speakers will share their insights into the topic.

No-one would dispute the need to protect our ecological environment and achieve sustainable development. At the same time, there are growing social and economic demands for expanding development in housing, transport, and other public infrastructures. Balancing development and environment often involves a tradeoff. Reclamation, and using lands within green belt zones and at the fringe of country parks, or even part of the Fanling golf club, for housing development are highly controversial. Are we caught in an irreconcilable dilemma?

The dialogue series is co-organised by the Department of Asian and Policy Studies (APS) and the Academy of Hong Kong Studies at The Education University of Hong Kong (EdUHK), and the Division of Public Policy (PPOL) at The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST).
