OutReach – 23 August 2021 – Arup, a global built
environment consultant, celebrates its 45th anniversary in Hong Kong
with a series of initiatives, including a city story video series and a
dedicated school programme, to envision a more sustainable Hong Kong with the
local community.
Today, Arup’s
influence can be felt everywhere across the city, from its tallest building to
the longest bridge and railway, from the largest revitalisation complex to the smartest
digital platform, and from the first waste-to-energy facility to new towns of
the future.
“We are proud
to see that people use and enjoy our work every day and many of our projects
here have contributed to making our city more liveable and resilient. We will continue to shape a sustainable
future for Hong Kong with our creative and technical excellence – delivering
projects that bring values to our clients and the community and help Hong Kong
achieve its goal of carbon neutrality by 2050.”
– Michael
Kwok, East Asia Region Chair
To celebrate the
milestone, the firm has launched a video series on ViuTV (click here for English subtitle versions) looking at some of the
most topical issues of Hong Kong’s built environment today: increasing
connectivity with infrastructure, creating the new from the old, driving a
paradigm shift in waste management, designing smarter and healthier buildings
and planning for tomorrow.
A video
competition will be organised among local secondary schools. It will allow students
to curate creative videos to envision Hong Kong’s future city design, learn the
United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals and explore their aspirations in
engineering and design related professions. Alongside this, there will also be
public and school talks to share and gather ideas for designing a better Hong
Kong.
“People are
always at the heart of our work. The spaces we create and the city we design
should ultimately help people live simpler, easier and better lives. That’s why
we’ve decided to co-envision the future of our city with the local community,
especially the next generation, as we continue to develop with the city.”
– Andy
Lee, Region Chief Operating Officer

development. Notable projects include the Hong Kong International Airport,
