FOCUS
Co-visioning with the Community
Public Engagement Activities
The Study was conducted hand-in-hand with the Harbourfront Commission (HC)
throughout the study process. A collaborative and bottom-up approach was
adopted to co-vision the harbourfront together with the community and the
Wan Chai and Eastern District Councils; and to gauge the community needs and
aspirations in a timely manner. A series of interactive and lively activities, including
a design ideas competition and various community events and resident workshops,
was conducted in the two-stage innovative public engagement exercise, thereby
successfully arousing public awareness and building consensus.
With concerted effort of the community and HC, the vision of 'developing an
urban harbourfront re-connecting people to the water' has served as a beacon for
planning and design of our new waterfront.
