CBI member Arup revealed its vision for future cities and launched a mentorship programme to mark its 40 years in Hong Kong. The dedicated event, themed ‘Our Future City’, was held on 22 April at the Rotunda, Exchange Square, Central, attracting more than 200 guests from across sectors including senior government officials, clients, and working partners.
Through a unique live performance of visual, light, and sound, Arup pointed an overarching direction to design future cities – Smart Green Resilient, and navigated visitors through different aspects of future urban living, from buildings and transport to energy and air quality.
The event also witnessed the kick off of the yearlong ‘20+20’ mentorship programme. Under the scheme, 20 Arup staff will be mentors to 20 Secondary 5 students, giving advice and guidance on education and career goals. In a series of meet-ups, creative workshops, and shadowing activities, the students will be exposed to the engineering profession and wider community and develop a vision for their own future.
Outstanding students will also receive scholarships to continue their higher education.
