Instructions for the 3-Part Analysis

Part 1: Research and Field Trip Poster

Students should form groups of 4 and pick 1 Case out of 16. Students should conduct desktop
research for basic information and background. Site Visits and short interviews, if applicable, are
highly encouraged.

Each group should produce an A1-sized Poster to summarize the collected information, including but
not limited to the follwing information:

1. Basic information: Location, Year of commencement/ completion, scale, funding

2. Background: Why was it set up and what issue is it trying to respond to?

3. Participation: Who is the organizer and who are the participants?

4. Which SDGs do the case respond to?

Part 2: 5-Minute Presentation and Discussion (Final 2 Lectures)

Each group should present the Case Study in 3 slides, max. 5 minutes. The Presentation should cover
all the basic information in Part 1, and also evaluate its contributions to SUD of Hong Kong. 3 groups
under the same topic (See Appendix) will present first, followed by a short discussion.

Groups will be evaluated by their Presentation content and clarity, and the depth of understanding
and reflection of the case studies in discussion. Other groups are expected to actively participate in
the discussions as well.

Part 3: Report

Each group should submit a report (max. 3500 words) to consolidate your findings and reflections.
Similar to the Poster, it should consist of basic information, background, participation and its
response to the SDGs. More importantly, it should serve as a reflection for its effectiveness in
achieving sustainability in Hong Kong, and whether it can be improved, further applied and how.

The Report should include, but not limited to, the following:
