In the final session of the "Seminar Series on Green Deck Development," Prof. Eric CHUI, Co-Director of Policy Research Centre for Innovation and Technology (PReCIT) and Dr William CHAN, Assistant Professor of the Department of Applied Social Sciences (APSS), from the Green Deck Project Team, shared their insights and valuable experiences in assessing public opinions towards the Green Deck Project. The seminar series, organised by the Faculty of Construction and Environment (FCE) of PolyU, aimed to deepen undergraduate students’ understanding of Green Deck development and related research.
During the session, Prof. CHUI and Dr CHAN took the students on a comprehensive journey through their research process. They explained the guiding theoretical framework, survey design, the two surveys that they conducted, and the findings they obtained. In addition, they discussed the implications of their research, providing students with a real-world perspective on the impact of their work.
Throughout the presentation, Prof. CHUI emphasized the importance of cross-disciplinary efforts in translating scientific knowledge into practical solutions. He also encouraged students to apply the knowledge that they have gained from the seminar series in their future endeavors, highlighting their potential to contribute to the field of Green Deck development and beyond.
The Green Deck Project Team aims to construct the Green Deck over the Hung Hom Cross Harbour Tunnel Toll Plaza, with the goal of improving air quality and community health, restoring community connectivity, meeting social needs, revitalizing urban centers, and boosting the local economy. PReCIT has been commissioned by the project team to assess public support for the latest Green Deck proposal.
