The 2014 YCPG Youth Forum – Hong Kong 2030: An Ideal City? – was successfully held on 26 July 2014 at the Hong Kong Academy of Medicine.

During the construction session, Mr KK Ling, the Director of Planning, shared his experiences in town planning in Hong Kong.

Sr David Tang, Property Director of the MTRC, shared his experiences in property development. He believed that the Integrated Rail-Property Development Model currently practised in Hong Kong allows for the seamless integration of different social facilities with railway stations and residences.
