Every year the global liveability ranking causes a great stir as people reflect on how their home city fares, and what contributes to the quality of life. But what exactly makes a city liveable? How can innovative design transform urban interactions? These will all be addressed in this year’s Knowledge of Design Week (KODW) 2018.

With “Design for Liveability” as this year’s theme, KODW 2018 will be held from June 11 to June 15, featuring 3 forums with case studies, 8 workshops, a special workshop as well as a forum exclusive to CEOs. Interested parties are encouraged to sign up and take part in these important discussions.

Liveability is a pertinent topic for policy makers and innovators today, a multidisciplinary subject that matters to individuals, businesses, organisations and governments. In a city driven by efficiency and governance like Hong Kong, a human-centred design approach offers insights for building empathy, fostering collaborative synergy and driving innovation in all fields.

KODW 2018 will tackle liveability from these different points of views, bringing in renowned innovators and visionaries to share how to make a city liveable, and the impact of design on liveability beyond aesthetics
