ZERO-CARBON PARK

In relation to nature and health the visit to CIC-Zero Carbon Park (CIC-ZCP) inspired all students across all disciplines, demonstrating the UN sustainable development goals collectively in a single site. The parks funding provided by the Construction Industry Council who aims to promote low/zero carbon living in Hong Kong and instill knowledge and a benchmark for the city. The site invites residents through its café and lush parkland filled with native woodland and a bio-diversified green environment which functions as the ‘green lungs’ for the high-density city. ZCP generates on-site renewable energy beneath and above a highly considered and innovative passive design, embodying SDG 17 by delivering stakeholders with the latest knowledge on low/zero carbon building technologies and smart city practices. The park will be the forefront for future city development and encourage business opportunities for those seeking a smarter and greener way. When walking through the center many meetings were active and acted as key evidence that the organization is continuously driven to improve and acquire new knowledge surrounding a positive environmental change. The site acts as an education, exhibition and information center inspiring the public’s ecological value of low/zero carbon living and informing groups locally and internationally on the importance of developing ecobuilding designs.
