Hong Kong Redux: Re-think Tramway as Rooted but Future Orientated Form of Sustainable Transportation

Hong Kong Redux
Re-thinking the Hong Kong Tramway as a Rooted but Future Orientated Form of Sustainable Transportation
As Hong Kong’s most sustainable form of public transportation, the tramway has been in operation across the northern districts of Hong Kong Island for more than a hundred years. With the continued development of public transportation, including the mass transit railway (MTR) line running directly below the tram route, and some inherent restrictions in how the tramway can be used and accessed, the tramway in Hong Kong is facing a questionable future, with passenger figures falling. Considering this character of usage, this lecture will discuss how the tramway could be integrated into future planning to revitalize the atmosphere and economy of the streetscape by increasing the quantity of travellers at street level.
