HKIP Awards 2020 - Announcement of Results
Hong Kong Institute of Planners (HKIP) Awards are given annually to our members and related professionals in recognition of their outstanding achievements in town planning. Through the delivery of awards, we also wish to raise public awareness in good planning principles and practice, and to encourage pursuit of excellence amongst planners in Hong Kong.
Young Planners Awards (YPA) are introduced to encourage and honour active participation and contribution of our young planners to the profession in particular and community affairs in general, as well as to promote and foster professionalism, dedication and enthusiasm amongst themselves.
This year, eight HKIP Awards and two YPA are given. The awarded projects have demonstrated how different planning elements can be integrated together, creating benefits to the local community and the general public. The awarded young planners, with distinguished achievements in and contribution to the profession and community affairs, can serve as role models for their counterparts.
