[Result Announcement] Singapore Institute of Planners (SIP) Planning Awards 2023 - Joint Award by SIP & HKIP for Excellence in Planning

Further to the signing of memorandum of understanding (MOU) between the Hong Kong Institute of Planners (HKIP) and the Singapore Institute of Planners (SIP) in 2020, both institutes have been actively exploring various collaboration opportunities to strengthen connections and facilitate exchange of professional knowledge, including co-organising planning awards / competitions.

This year, the SIP and the HKIP co-organise the SIP Planning Awards 2023 - Joint Award by SIP & HKIP for Excellence in Planning to encourage more regional effort to strengthen and transform the planning profession between two cities. A total of five projects are selected for the Joint Award, including two for Silver Award, one for Bronze Award and two for Special Mention. The judging panel acknowledges the awarded projects' determination to provide innovative, sustainable, practical planning solutions pertaining to the high density living environment, "double-aging" problem, limited land supply, as well as climate change.
