Kwun Tong Garden Estate Community Photo Competition “Time•Place•People”
Kwun Tong Garden Estate (KTGE) is one of the rental estates with the longest history under Hong Kong Housing Society. It contains countless valuable memories and neighborhood stories over the past 50 years. Along with the gradual commencement of construction works for the Ting On Street project pooled for transfer exercises, we are approaching the second phase redevelopment of KTGE. In light of this, let’s savour the wonderful moments and stories at KTGE with its residents and the neighborhood. Themed “Time•Place•People”, the Competition aims to encourage KTGE residents and community members to capture the moments of humanity or precious memories at KTGE through lens in hopes that stories from different generations could be spread and savoured.

Besides, to better prepare participants for the Competition, the Organiser is going to arrange a series of related activities, including photo taking by photographers based on the theme of the Competition. Their photo stories will be shared as a short clip with participants. In addition, a workshop on photography skills with a smartphone will be organised and a social enterprise, Social Bulb, will also be invited to host a photography workshop for residents to take family photos in the background of KTGE through light painting.

HKHS Gerontech Competition 2021/22
In light of an ageing population in Hong Kong, the Hong Kong Housing Society (HKHS) has embarked on different elderly housing projects for over 20 years and rolled out the Aging-in-Place (AIP) Scheme in rental estates to advocate the concept of “Ageing in Place”. To help the elderly live an independent and self-reliant retirement life, HKHS is sparing no efforts in promoting gerontechnology.

This year, HKHS is organising the Gerontech Competition again where the scope of the Tertiary Student category has been expanded to both tertiary and university students, thereby encouraging more of the younger generation to design elderly-friendly products through creative ideas and the application of technology and gerontology. The Competition also aims to promote an age-friendly community and inject new impetus into the gerontechnology industry.

The Competition consists of two rounds. Participating teams will first understand the theme of the Competition by taking part in various activities, followed by submission of preliminary design. Shortlisted teams from Round 1 will proceed to Round 2, in which they will receive advice from professionals and take part in elderly visits to learn more about the needs of the elderly for enhancing the practicality of their entries.

City Hunt cum Intergenerational Community Design Competition for Secondary School Students 2019/20
The growing senior population of Hong Kong has given rise to concerns on how our urban communities can be re-designed to meet the diverse daily needs of different generations and facilitate mutual understanding and support amongst residents. What would you do to create better neighbourhoods for the young and old to live together?

For the first time, the Housing Society is organising the City Hunt cum Intergenerational Community Design Competition where secondary school students are encouraged to take a closer look at our ageing city and become change makers for age-friendly neighbourhoods.

The Competition consists of two parts. Participating teams will first navigate across our city to understand the characteristics and needs of local communities through completing tasks at specific locations in the one-day City Hunt. Shortlisted teams will proceed to the second stage where they will take part in co-creation workshops and present their Intergenerational Community Designs in the finale.
