Research Institute for Land and Space (RILS)

PolyU-Yangjiang Laboratory Joint Research Centre for Offshore Wind Power
The Finals and Closing Ceremony of HKBIM Future Public Housing Design Competition was successfully held.
The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU) and China Harbour Engineering Co. Ltd (CHEC) have collaborated to establish the China Harbour–PolyU Joint Research Centre for Land Development (JRC) to promote sustainable land development, develop a green, low-carbon economy and improve the urban living environment.
RILS's vision is to develop innovative solutions for creating affordable and environmentally friendly land and space.
The five research themes form a comprehensive and coherent research program in the strategic focus area of land and space research.

It is well-known that there is a shortage of land and space for accommodation and for economic development in many parts of the world, especially in the densely populated Asian cities like Hong Kong. We aim to become a world leader in developing innovative solutions for creating economical and environmentally friendly land and space.
