UW Runstad Center: Sustainability Lessons from Hong Kong

Is it possible to craft a more sustainable future by thinking differently about how we measure success? To find out, seven city-savvy Seattleites traveled to of one of the world's densest, richest, and most rapidly changing cities: Hong Kong. This interdisciplinary group of Fellows from the UW Runstad Center for Real Estate collected insights from leaders in urban design, development, technology, investment, and sustainability in order to understand Asian development models, and how those lessons might translate to Western cities. A PechaKucha-style presentation (20 slides, each shown for 20 seconds) is followed by a discussion about the future of sustainable urbanism. Presented by the Town Hall Center for Civic Life.
