HKHS 75^th Anniversary

HKHS International Conference 2023
“A Vision for the Future: Liveable Communities for Sustainable Living of Multi-Generations”

The Hong Kong Housing Society (HKHS) has been playing the role of a “housing laboratory” for the past 75 years. As our society keeps moving, HKHS strives for progression with the times and has completed 100 projects providing more than 74,000 residential units, so as to help address the evolving housing needs of Hong Kong people. We are also endeavoured to foster an inclusive community and to promote “cross-generational harmony” in the city.

This International Conference is one of the celebration events of HKHS’s 75th anniversary and provides an excellent opportunity for Hong Kong and overseas delegates to exchange valuable insights and experiences on the subjects of multi-generational community, innovations for housing, as well as ESG for the housing sector.
