On 20 April 2024, a public seminar and workshop titled “Smart City and Geospatial Technology in Hong Kong” was successfully held at GeoSpatial Lab in Kwun Tong. The event was a collaborative effort between PolyU LSGI, GeoSpatial Lab (under the Development Bureau of the HKSAR Government), and the Hong Kong Institute of Vocational Education (IVE). The seminar attracted over 20 physical attendees and around 40 online participants, including local secondary school students, parents, and teachers.
The event commenced with a seminar by Dr. Sissi Chen, Lecturer at LSGI, on the topic “Problem Solving by Digital Maps and Geographic Information System (GIS).” Dr. Chen demonstrated how GIS can be used to address societal needs through the application of digital maps.
Speakers from IVE, Ms. Cherrie Siu, Lecturer, and Mr. Leo Yau, Assistant Lecturer, shared insights on “Introducing Geospatial Technology for Supporting Smart Cities Development in Hong Kong” Both speakers are affiliated with the Hong Kong Institute of Vocational Education (Sha Tin).
The related geospatial higher diploma and bachelor degree programmes were introduced during the event. The session was highly informative, and the Q&A segment saw various questions from both the floor and online participants being addressed.
