Seminars / Public Lectures

Apart from teaching and research, academic staff members of the Department are actively engaged in organizing international conferences, workshops, public lectures, and seminars.

The Department continues to strengthen its international academic links by organizing international conferences and workshops, often in conjunction with the Centre for China Urban and Regional Studies (CURS) and the Hong Kong Energy Studies Centre (HKESC). Some of the recent activities included the International Conference on Globalization, the State, and Urban Transformation in China, the International Conference on Energy Market Reform, the Workshop on Spatial Analysis and Decision Making, the Workshop on Transportation Survey Methods, and the Conference on the Colonial Governmentality and the Production of Space in Hong Kong. These conferences and workshops were very successful and helped the Department in pursuing international linkages.
