- Transitional Social Housing Action Project Report, Nov 2020, The Action Projects covered three sites with varying physical and socio-economic environment, i.e. a temporary work site at the intersection of Tung Chau Street and Yen Chow Street West in Sham Shui Po, the former SKH Stanley Village Primary School in Stanley, and the Ma Wan Old Village. The Report provides comprehensive documentation of the cross-sector and trans-disciplinary co-creation process which has contributed to enriching the knowledge in the planning, designing and implementing transitional social housing projects in Hong Kong. , https://www.polyu.edu.hk/disi/images/pdf/TSH_report.pdf, images/content/programme/One-from-hundred-thousand/symposium/season1/S1-TSH_Report_cover.jpg,

In light of the pressing need for housing provision and poverty alleviation, this Season’s Symposium aims to (1) facilitate a holistic deliberation on issues related to transitional social housing by a wide spectrum of stakeholders; and (2) develop a series of transitional social housing suggestions that focus on planning and architectural design for example, to bring under-utilised land and premises into use and build a safe, supportive environment for vulnerable groups to assist their full integration into the community.
DISI welcomes participants to suggest possible sites for transitional social housing as study cases and encourages participants to jointly explore the feasibility of various solutions and co-create social innovation design schemes.
