The Hong Kong Institute of Planners (HKIP) Awards 2021 – Announcement of the Results
Hong Kong Institute of Planners (HKIP) Awards are given to honour the outstanding achievements of our members and related professionals in town planning each year. Through the delivery of Awards, we wish to raise public awareness in good planning principles and practice, and to encourage pursuit of excellence amongst planners in Hong Kong and mainland China.
Young Planners Awards (YPA) are introduced to honour the active participation and contribution of our young planners to the planning profession in particular and community affairs in general, as well as to promote and foster professionalism, dedication and enthusiasm amongst themselves.
This year, a total of four projects and one young planner are selected for HKIP Awards and YPA respectively. The awarded projects listed below have demonstrated various ways to inject new life to the city by integrating the innovative ideas and existing planning elements as well as old social fabric, benefiting the local community and contributing to promotion of the planning profession to the general public. The awarded young planner, with distinguished achievements in and contribution to the profession and community affairs, can serve as role model for his counterparts.
