Co-organised with The Department of Chinese Language and
Literature of the Chinese University of Hong Kong, the HSA held the
second Essay Writing Competition under the theme of ‘Housing for the
Elderly’. The objective of the competition was to promote the concept
of ‘cross-generation harmony’ and to encourage young people to
understand the housing needs of the elderly. After receiving more
than 1,100 entries from 92 secondary schools, we held an award
presentation ceremony and published all the winning and selected
entries in a book.
In April 2015, we continued to invite world-class scholars to address
the local community on housing-related topics as part of our
Distinguished Lecture Series organised with The University of Hong
Kong. The speaker was Prof David Clapham, Professor of Planning of
the University of Reading in the United Kingdom and Visiting
Professor, IBF at the University of Uppsala in Sweden, who shared his
experience in housing for the older people, particularly the direction
on how to combine accommodation and elderly services to provide
the necessary support.
