Future Mixed-Use of Spaces in Hong Kong

 
Design a mixed-use development for future working and living
in a sustainable way after 20 years in Hong Kong

Given the unique composition of Hong Kong, there is a constant call for creative solutions to resolve the deep-rooted competition for the RIGHT usage of space. Coupled with the social and cultural transformation in this new generation, how will the future of Hong Kong as a city look like in 20 years?

Great Eagle were among the first batch of developers to take part in urban redevelopment projects in Hong Kong. Our development project - Langham Place in Mongkok was the biggest urban renewal project in Hong Kong. It is a mixed-use development consisting of a shopping mall, office tower and hotel.

You now have the opportunity to take this into your own hands. Your mission is to design THE development project that could meet the needs of different lifestyles and demographics that functions well into the future. Show us your vision of how a sustainable mixed-use development space for working, playing, learning, connecting and living would look like 20 years from now.

Rather than specializing in single-use development, mixed-use development refers to spaces that integrate work, home, shopping, transportation, and even green spaces. It could be seen as a place that meets future needs with flexibility in design and function, to make it in a new form and enhance its functional efficiency on a 24/7 basis.

The innovative solutions must include the use of technologies, for example, using AI to analyze user behaviours. It should also consist of sustainable elements to ensure the development runs in an eco-friendly way.

Perspectives

Begin brainstorming from the point of view of Great Eagle's triple bottom line framework of sustainability which consists of:

PROFIT

PEOPLE

PLANET

  3. The proposed mixed-use development (Please state the proportion of combination of space use)
  4. How sustainable your development is?
