CLASS ACTIVITIES

.

This provides four activities, along with information of urban renewal projects from different districts. Teachers can choose any of the activities to facilitate teaching. The activities can be carried out individually or in combination, which are particularly useful for the IES module. The up-to-date information of the URA projects will enhance students' knowledge of urban renewal. By adopting a micro-perspective (e.g. by taking the perspective of a local resident or a shop owner), they will understand more about urban renewal, that can be followed by a more concrete and macro-perspective learning through data collection, site visit, and interviews.

We hope that the information and guidance provided in the UR Web Academy will help students to know the importance of participation to different stakeholders in urban renewal. They will also understand the effects of urban renewal on different social groups in Hong Kong. The activities will also develop their skills of independent thinking, and give them insight into how the work of the URA benefits the overall development of Hong Kong. The following activities are particularly suitable for secondary school students.
