Singapore ranked third in Asia on a global ranking of livable cities, exceled Hong Kong on the list.  In this study tour, participants will experience Singapore and uncover her secret to being a livable and sustainable city.  Observations and insights from walking through the city and meeting with local citizens and professional practitioners in this neighboring metropolis, will be useful references on promoting sustainability in Hong Kong.

The Undergraduate Halls believe GREEN is a living style in striving for balance and aiming for economic, social, and environmental sustainability.  As complement to the green programs at the Undergraduate Halls, Green Quest is an annual green program organized by the Undergraduate Halls to enhance green awareness of HKBU students through seminar series and overseas experiential tour.
