The Making of Hong Kong:
3D pedestrian network as the critical walking infrastructure
The three-dimensional pedestrian network, enabling multi-level city living in a vertical metropolis, is a fundamental consideration in urban planning and design practices for high-density cities.

Pedestrian guardrails (PGs) are common in high-density cities, but growing debate focuses on whether PGs provide pedestrian comfort and assure safety
A joint paper is published in Urban Design International with Dr. Gianni Talamini and his team at CityU on "The controversial impact of pedestrian guardrails on road crossing behaviours. Evidence from Hong Kong". We conducted a before-and-after observational study of the temporary removal of guardrails in Hong Kong, to explore the controversial issue: Are pedestrian guardrails for pedestrian safety or speeding up cars?
