Future HK Living

In a compact city like Hong Kong, creating sustainable and liveable spaces revolves around comfort, convenience, happiness and quality of life. It requires expertise in commercial revitalisation, placemaking, ecological conservation, technological innovation, and fostering care within the community.

These topics are explored in an exhibition themed “People make Places: the Making of Liveable Spaces” at Link Sustainability Lab in Lok Fu. Complete with a 270-degree immersive experience zone plus interactive games, the exhibition details how Hong Kong’s livable communities have been shaped by Link Asset Management over the past two decades and marks the 20th anniversary of Link REIT’s IPO.

Visitors can learn more about the transformation of Hong Kong’s wet markets and use augmented reality (AR) filters to decode elements of change. They can even turn themselves into market stall owners for photo opportunities and chat with virtual fruit stall owner “Keung Gor” and virtual seafood stall owner “Lin Jeh”! 

At the interactive game zone, visitors can check out the old and new looks of their favourite malls in the “Out with the Old, In with the New” interactive game. This exciting game requires visitors to complete a puzzle within a time limit to see how renovated shopping malls have transformed their communities. Meanwhile, the “Hoop Hero Challenge” brings visitors to experience the fun of shooting hoops with increasing levels of difficulty in the basketball courts of different districts.

Looking ahead, the cities of the future would need our input. Visitors are invited to grab a brush to co-create liveable spaces using their creativity. Newly-commissioned artistic interpretations of “Future City” by United Kingdom artist Emily Allchurch and local artists Michelle Fung and Mimi Luk are also featured.
