THE PROJECT

The project involves three phases, over a period of nine months:

Research – Project team and voluntary mapmakers explore the green sites by means of field visit and literature research. Places of public interest include: natural landscape, historical and cultural sites (e.g. Wetland Park , farmer's market, urban parks, villages, monastery, heritage sites and green architecture), environmental education, culture and design, renewable resources, sustainable development, etc. )

Design – The map covers the entire Hong Kong region with focuses on the metropolitan area. It is presented in the format of a printed map and a webpage. An educational kit summarizes the mapmaking experience for public references.

Publish – A total of 80,000 copies distribute publicly, and send to schools, as well as environmental and cultural organizations. An exhibition is held in the form of public art display.

Green Map Hong Kong puts together different aspects of sustainable development, regardless of themes, disciplines and scopes. The aim is to rediscover the many natural and cultural resources, to have a new understanding on the surrounding environment, and in return, to promote a harmonious and multi-faced sustainable city life.
