As the Year of Pig has come I am reflecting on all I have achieved in the Dog Year of 2018. Today I am going to share the "Year in Review" which highlights all the works and accomplishments I have done in the past year.
Last year, I have been working closely with HKIUD, participated in the discussion of Active Ageing, experienced an interesting workshops. Meanwhile, I met experts, visionaries and game changers and share their thoughts on the various aspects of city life in tomorrow’s world. In addition, I have been writing articles to discuss various issues, such as future proofing city, tree management and urban liveability.

In 2018, I was pleased to be elected Vice President of Hong Kong Institute of Urban Design, establishing and chairing the "International and Mainland Affairs Committee" to strengthen communication and information exchange on urban design knowledge, education and research within the region.
Last year, I started writing a series of articles for URBANIZATION MAGAZINE. In this regular column, I take travels around the globe to discuss the essential ingredients that are focused on what makes better city living. I meet experts, visionaries and game changers and share their thoughts on the various aspects that can and should be at the heart of city life in tomorrow’s world.
In my Barry Says column, I have been writing articles to discuss about the planning issues of Hong Kong and the relevance to smart urban growth in the future.
My articles have also been published in various platforms, including professional journals, magazines, and newspapers. The discussion covers a wide range of topics such as future proofing city, tree management and urban liveability.
I was also participating in many different activities in both Hong Kong and the Mainland, and sharing my knowledge to my students, professional experts and the public last year.
