A team of policy researchers from the Institute of Public Policy at HKUST undertakes a major policy research project commissioned by the Greater Bay Area Association of Academicians. Entitled Building a World-Class Innovation District in the Northern Metropolis: Policy Innovation, Institutional Design, and Capacity Building, this project seeks to identify innovative approaches to build the Northern Metropolis—Hong Kong’s biggest development plan in the past five decades—and to accelerate its development in innovation and technology. The team consists of Prof Jingwei Alex HE (PI), Prof Xun WU (Co-PI), Prof Yan XU (Co-I), and Prof Pengyu Zhu (Co-I). A mid-term report was officially released in a high-profile policy consultation forum in Hong Kong Science Park on August 3 2023.
