"Create Your District" Competition 2026 Competition Workshop and Guided Tour

The Competition Workshop and Guided Tour was successfully held on 11 July 2026. Sr Tony Wan, President of the Hong Kong Institute of Surveyors (HKIS), Sr Raymond Kam, Senior Vice-President of HKIS and Chairman of the Competition Organising Committee, alongside mentors from various surveying divisions, attended the workshop to share their professional insights on Tsuen Wan's urban planning and sustainable development with the participating students. They also introduced the professional roles of surveyors in different sectors including land planning, building development, property and facility management, urban renewal and conservation, inspiring students to envision the future development of an ideal community from multiple perspectives.

Following the workshop, the organiser arranged a guided tour led by several HKIS members. They guided teachers and students through several representative landmarks and development projects in Tsuen Wan, including Nina Park, Tsuen Wan Riviera Park which has the potential for low-altitude economy development, the 75-77 Yeung Uk Road project showcasing urban renewal concepts, Citywalk and Vision City which combine residential and commercial development, Clague Garden Estate featuring community planning, The Mills revitalised from old industrial buildings, and D•PARK, a large community commercial facility. The tour allowed participants to understand the district's economic and social development from different angles, and explore Tsuen Wan's future urban development opportunities in rich old and new urban cultural conservation, urban renewal and low-altitude economy. It also helped them recognise how surveyors promote sustainable urban development and build more livable communities through cross-professional collaboration.
