2019 Bi-City Biennale of Urbanism\Architecture (Hong Kong)
The 2019 Bi-City Biennale of Urbanism\Architecture (Hong Kong) (UABBHK2019), was organized by The Hong Kong Institute of Architects Biennale Foundation, with The Hong Kong Institute of Architects, The Hong Kong Institute of Planners, and Hong Kong Designers Association as co-organizers, and Create Hong Kong of the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region as the lead sponsor. Held between December 2019 and March 2020, its aim was to create an environment for creative exchange and urbanist advocacy for urban planners, professionals and the general public.
The UABBHK2019 carried the theme “2×2: Imagine to Innovate”. Its curatorial team, led by Wu Tsan-sum Roger, believed the key to 2×2 lies in how current and future generations imagine and envision the city. Through imagination, we can place creative and forward-thinking demands on the city; innovation will enable out-of-the-box advances to fulfil these demands, while technology can be the medium to bridge the two and unlock more possibilities.
