土地及空間研究院副院長對北部都會區和交椅州人工島發展分享見解

土地及空間研究院副院長、賽馬會社會創新設計院總監凌嘉勤教授上周六（７月１５日）獲邀出席政治組織「香港新方向」講座，分享北部都會區和交椅州人工島的發展機遇、以及國家區域發展戰略對香港未來發展的影響和機遇。   凌教授表示，北都可徹底改變香港固有的「重南輕北」發展格局，同時建立密不可分的港深「雙城」關係。他提到，《北部都會區發展策略》是港府首次承認香港與深圳密不可分的「雙城」關係策略文件，可提醒香港官員突破思維，項目定位在跨空間框架，探索港深合作的可能及效應。   網上報導： 明報 - https://polyu.me/3PZAUll

土地及空間研究院學者獲批2022-23年度國家自然科學基金/研資局之合作研究資助 (只有英文版本)

Dr H.F. DUAN, member of RILS and Associate Professor of CEE, has received a funding of HK$1,244,750, granted by the National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC)/Research Grants Council (RGC) Joint Research Scheme (JRS) 2022/23. Awarded Project Summary: The Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (GBA) possesses an important strategic position in the overall development of China. In 2019, the Chinese Central Government released the “Outline Development Plan for the Guangdong–Hong Kong–Macao Greater Bay Area (GBA)”, with aims to fully utilize the advantages of the city cluster (9+2 cities) within the GBA. However, in recent years, extreme and compound climate and weather events (e.g., typhoon and rainstorm) have become more and more intense and frequent globally, leading to challenging situations for the environment and resources in coastal regions including the GBA. Recent studies have revealed that a large portion (estimated at 15-28% based on different methods) of current resident areas in the GBA will be below the flooding water level in 2100 due to climate change. This indicates that the coastal flooding issues induced by the joint occurrences of rainstorms and storm surges will become increasingly severe in the future in the GBA. Through the close collaboration of the Hong Kong and Mainland teams, this joint project carries out scientific research on investigating the patterns and characteristics of joint occurrences of coastal rainstorms and storm surges, thereby assessing the resultant flooding risks in the GBA. This project addresses two scientific research issues as follows: (1) the underlying patterns of rainstorm-storm surge joint occurrences in the coastal regions of GBA; and (2) the physical mechanisms of coastal flooding caused by compound climate and weather events in the GBA. To this end, the comprehensive methodology of statistical analysis, numerical simulation, laboratory and field tests is applied for this research. The results and deliverables from this project could provide scientific guidance and technical support for effective planning and management of coastal flooding in the GBA, as well as offer significant references for urban flooding mitigation and prevention in other coastal regions.
