Sense of Place refers to the emotive bonds and attachments people develop or experience in particular locations and environments, at scales ranging from the home to the nation. Sense of place is also used to describe the distinctiveness or unique character of a particular locality – in this case, Hong Kong.

Three distinct sub-themes emerge: land, sea and the urban environment.

This call for submission will be held in 2 phases with an initial selection occurring in June 2023 and a second selection in October 2023.
