The Aging Dragons Exhibition presents the observation of the developed Asian cities Hong Kong, Seoul, Singapore, Taipei and Tokyo. Called Emerging Asian Dragons during a period of rapid development, the former young dragons are growing older. The exhibition discussed changes and challenges which these cities are facing after their fast development.
The following contributions from Hong Kong exhibit unique development modes of the city and aim to find critical positions towards the raising conflicts between growth and aspects of heritage preservation and urban renewal, sustainability and density, government policies and development control, housing distribution and land ownership, hyper efficiency and public realm.
Read the topics of all contributions below and find more informations on the exhibits from Hong Kong, Seoul, Singapore, Taipei and Tokyo on the Aging Dragons and Beyond Big Plans websites.
