On May 8, 2017, Associate Professor LI Ling-Hin, Vice Dean of School of Architecture, University of HongKong, was invited to South China University of Technology for academic exchanges and a one-week lecture-program.
On the afternoon of May 8th, Prof. LI introduced the policy of Hong Kong's real estate market and land to the attendees, and discussed the new development of the land system, the land supply mode, the post-reunification system, the role of the government in the market. The close relationship between the land system and the real estate market in Hong Kong is particularly relevant to the planning changes in the urban renewal of Hong Kong. It is closely related to the challenges encountered in China's urban planning, which has aroused the enthusiastic discussion of teachers and students.
