Muse Salon Vol.03——New Town New Bonding: How might we foster community connections in a new town?

Muse Salon Vol.03——New Town New Bonding: How might we foster community connections in a new town?

 

Despite fulfilling the housing needs of millions of citizens, new town developments have been facing challenges such as social disconnection, inadequate public facilities and fragmented communities. Beyond being merely “bedroom towns” for local residents, how might we create a stronger social bond among the neighbours, bring people together to turn their communities into real homes?

 

We have invited two Micro-changemakers who are experimenting with new ways to connect neighbourhoods in new towns –  ‘Delivery’,  a community-based food delivery platform and Ma On Shan News, a community paper, to share their invaluable insights and experiences.

 

Participation is free of charge, but space is limited. Ensure your spot by filling out the registration form. We look forward to seeing you!
