HKU to hold CICID 10th Anniversary Conference - Innovation, Integration and Implementation: The Next Decade of Infrastructure Development and Construction in Hong Kong

29 May 2013

The realization of the ten mega infrastructure projects and a huge demand for various constructed facilities including housing in Hong Kong has generated an unprecedented opportunity for the local construction industry. However, to succeed in a rapidly changing environment requires the deployment of novel ideas and innovative practices. The recent advances in zero carbon building and sustainable construction, building information modeling and integrated project procurement and delivery, would undoubtedly help the clients, consultants, contractors and government to add considerable value to their facilities/services and overcome the challenges they are facing in the next decade and beyond.

The Centre for Infrastructure & Construction Industry Development (CICID) of the University of Hong Kong will hold the CICID 10^th Anniversary Conference entitled “Innovation, Integration and Implementation: The Next Decade of Infrastructure Development and Construction in Hong Kong” on Friday (May 31).  The purpose of this Conference is firstly to showcase the latest research and development in infrastructure and construction industry development and secondly to inspire more innovations and integration initiatives as our industry forges forward in developing sustainable infrastructure.
