課程宗旨

如果你是家長，有否因為子女埋首於交通路線或虛擬城市的設計的興趣而感到憂慮呢？

​

如果你是青少年，你是否對交通或城市設計很有感覺但卻很少有人能夠理解你的想法？

​

如果是的話，你們就應該考慮這個課程了。

​

這課程已經舉辦了四屆，因為是基於同學們的興趣，大家都非常努力學習，踴躍提出問題和交流，即使只是透過Zoom，熱情亦不減。同學們作業中提出的設計，往往更令專業和社區人士另眼相看。同學們一定不要小看自己，興趣加上學習， <我是規劃師＞可以讓你步向這個夢想，推動你的學習和成長。

​

• 本課程由專業人士任教，培育對交通及城市規劃有濃厚興趣的青少年，以發展他們這方面的才華，吸收知識，關心社區，並推動他們整體的學習和個人成長。

• 參加者有機會透過真實案例，從專業人士身上，理解交通及城市規劃的深層概念，學習從多角度探究問題，並認識交通及城市規劃與各學科學習和職業發展的關聯。

• 本課程以小班進行，參加者有機會就自己對交通及城市規劃的興趣，知識和創意想法，與專業人士和有共同興趣的同學交流，開放自我並得到啟發和指導，提升自信和自我形象。

• 本課程半費鼓勵舊生參與，深化學習，將新的發現與人切磋。雖然大綱部份不變，但是每屆的互動，會因參與者不同和新近的都市發展，不斷帶出新的內容和思考重點。

• 今次課程更突出放眼世界，透過參考英國，德國，日本，中國的例子，探討香港交通及城市規劃發展的異同及長短，幫助學生就香港的規劃問題，開拓更多更有趣的想像空間。

​

課程大綱

今次課程，首先會讓大家交流：香港交通及生活環境，有甚麼好的和不好的情況？為甚麼要有城市及交通規劃？甚麼是好的規劃，甚麼是不好的規劃？城市及交通的規劃有甚麼重要的元素和層次？香港有過那些城市及交通的整體規劃？最近又有哪些值得關注的發展項目？現在主要面對的有甚麼問題？成因是甚麼？大家有沒有想過甚麼建議？有沒有想過提出？

​

然後，課程會介紹數個外地的規劃個案，讓大家討論：相比之下，各城市的想法和做法，與香港的有甚麼相同不同？香港有哪是做得比較好的，應該保持？各地有哪些正面的和反面的經驗，或者哪些新的觀念和發展趨勢，可能值得香港學習或者注意？

​

課程另一個重要方面，是鼓勵同學們選定某個感興趣的課題，大的小的都可以，嘗試提出自己的創新規劃或設計意念。在課程的中段（第四節），會有初步討論和回饋，並提供一些具啟發性的例子。在第八節，同學們將會分享自己的設計意念，目的不是比賽，而是互相啟發，並讓更多朋友和專業人士參與聆聽和回應。

 

第一節：師生之間初步認識和交流；介紹及討論交通及城市規劃所涉及的主要概念和層次

第二節：簡介香港交通及土地規劃狀況，並探討一些大家可能觀察到的問題及其成因

第三節：介紹軌道運輸的規劃過程，軌道和城市設計的相互關係，由顧問公司前總監分享個案

第四節：介紹一些本課程畢業生以往的作品，並指導學員進一步構思自己的規劃設計

第五節：德國公共交通的規劃和運作，由現職德國巴士公司管理層人員分享個案

第六節：英國城市規劃的文化背景及策略轉變，由英國倫敦大學主修城市規劃畢業生分享個案

第七節：其他啟示：日本城市群的形成和發展；上海和北京城市道路交通規劃的個案比較

第八節：本課程學員的作品分享及回應；介紹交通及城市規劃興趣與未來學習及職業的關係

​

Course Objectives

If you are a parent, are you worried because your children are obsessed with the design of transportation routes or virtual cities?

If you are a teenager, do you have a strong sense about transport or urban design, but few people can understand your ideas?

If so, you should consider this course.

This course has been held for four rounds. Because it is based on the interest of the students, everyone studied hard, asked questions and communicated actively, even when the lessons were through Zoom. The designs put forward by the students in their works often make the professionals and the community feel surprised and intrigued. Students must not underestimate themselves, interest coupled with learning, <GO Planners> is to let you step towards this dream and promote your overall learning and growth.

​

• This course is taught by professionals to nurture young people who have a strong interest in transport and urban planning to develop their talents in the area, to absorb knowledge, contribute to community, and hence their personal learning and growth.

• Participants have the opportunity to learn about the in-depth concepts of transport and urban planning from professionals through real cases, learn to explore problems from multiple angles, and understand the relationship between transport and urban planning and various subject disciplines and careers.

• This course is conducted in small class. Participants have the opportunity to interact with professionals and other students with common interest. Participants can communicate their own particular interests in the area, their particular knowledge and creative ideas, and get inspiration and responsive guidance to open up themselves and enhance their self-confidence and self-image.

• This course encourages old students to participate for half-fee, to deepen their learning and discuss their new discoveries with others. Although the course outline will partly be the same, the interactions in each run will continue to bring out new content and thinking points due to different participant inputs and recent urban developments.

• This round of the course has “Drawing references from cases worldwide” as its theme. By referring to examples in the United Kingdom, Germany, Japan, and Mainland China, it will explore the similarities and differences and the relative strengths and weaknesses of the development of Hong Kong's transport and urban planning, and stimulate students to open up more space of interesting imagination on Hong Kong's planning issues.

 

Course Outline

This course will first introduce the basic concepts and review the situation of Hong Kong: What are the good and bad situations in Hong Kong's traffic and living environment? Why do we need urban and transport planning? What is a good plan and what is a bad plan? What are the important elements of urban and transport planning? What have been the important milestones of transport and urban planning of Hong Kong in the past? What are the recent development projects taking place that we should note? What are the main problems you often observe now? What are the possible causes? Have you thought about any suggestions? Have you ever thought about bringing it up?

​

Then, we will introduce planning cases in different places and let everyone discuss: In contrast, how are the ideas and practices of various cities similar or different to those in Hong Kong? What are likely done well in Hong Kong that should be maintained? What are the positive and negative experiences in various places that might be worth learning or paying attention in Hong Kong? Are there also new development trends and concepts that Hong Kong should consider?

 

Another important aspect of the course is to encourage students to choose a topic of interest (which can be big or small) and try to put forward their own innovative planning or design ideas. In the middle of the course (section 4), there will be some preliminary discussion and feedback, and some enlightening examples will also be provided. In the eighth session, the students will share their achievements. The purpose is not to compete, but to inspire each other, and let more friends and professionals participate in listening and responding.

​

Section 1: Initial knowing and exchanges between teachers and students; introduction and discussion of the main concepts and levels involved in transport and urban planning
