Prof. LING Kar-kan, Management Committee Member of the Research Institute for Smart Ageing (RISA), Interim Vice President (Campus Development and Facilities), Director of Jockey Club Design Institute for Social Innovation of The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU) and Chairman of the Hong Kong Housing Society (HKHS), was recently featured in the interview with Ming Pao Daily News.
In the interview, Prof. Ling outlined the future plans of HKHS for supplying properties. To address ageing population, he highlighted that HKHS had integrated elements of ageing in place and intergenerational inclusion in the design of residential units and public spaces, which aimed to create safe and accessible environment for people of all ages.
In response to the trend of ageing population, RISA believes that creating age-friendly communities through multisectoral collaboration is essential. We will remain committed to advocating for age-friendly policies, driving impactful ageing research and innovation.

智齡研究院管理委員會成員、香港理工大學暫任副校長（校園發展及設施管理）及賽馬會社會創新設計院總監、香港房屋協會（房協）主席凌嘉勤教授早前接受《明報新聞網》專訪。
凌教授在專訪中分享房協在房屋供應的未來計劃。為應對人口老化，他强調房協在設計單位及公共空間時加入居家安老及跨代共融元素，希望建構安全、通達及能滿足各年齡層需要的環境。
面對人口老齡化的趨勢，智齡研究院深信透過多界別協作創建年齡友善社區至關重要。我們會繼續積極倡議年齡友善政策及推動具影響力的老齡化研究與創新。
