Infrastructure systems face a plethora of challenges arising from climate change, urbanisation and evolving societal demands. As extreme events with increasing duration and intensity become commonplace, climate and system resilience become critical determinants of the operational performance of infrastructures. Withstanding impact, containing damage and rapid recovery are now essential criteria in establishing resilient and adaptive infrastructures under the new normal.
This One-Day Seminar provides a platform for participants to learn how we can engineer our city’s infrastructure to be resilient and adaptive, safeguarding Hong Kong’s future.
The theme of ICE HKA G&S One-Day Seminar 2025 will be ‘Infrastructure resilience and adaptation - engineer a vibrant and sustainable future’.
In this One-Day Seminar, speakers will discuss the frameworks, propose strategies and share insights in engineering resilient and adaptive infrastructures from different perspectives, angles and professions, including the status quo, ongoing work fronts and next steps by various parties. International frameworks, local practices and innovative solutions will be covered. Besides resilience and adaptation, sustainability will also be covered in shaping a more vibrant and sustainable future.
In response to different extreme events and challenges, this event features distinguished speakers with different expertise and backgrounds, including but not limited to the United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction, works departments of the HKSAR government, leading academic institutions and engineering consulting firms.
