細說《佰合》之一：跨代共居
《佰合》是一個跨代共居的城市設計專案，通過共享單位的模式，提供合理的居住空間給年輕人和長者。這個概念能夠同時滿足年輕人面對發展空間不足和長者缺乏適合居住選擇的需求。跨代共居不僅能夠增加人與人之間的交流和互動，促進社會共融，還能提供彼此照應和分享經驗的機會。儘管衝突難以避免，但共宅可以成為促進和諧的平台，讓人們學會互相包容和解決糾紛。這個創新的城市設計方案能夠為香港的年輕人和長者帶來理想的居住環境，並締造更美好的城市生活空間。

Realizing a Dream City
A group of professionals from diverse backgrounds participated in the 'Dream City' open competition organized by Hong Kong Seek Road. Their proposal, titled 100 Hub, focused on addressing the limited space issue in Hong Kong by creating a new town design that could accommodate 100,000 residents. The proposal incorporated the perspectives of different personas, including a retired professional concerned about aging options and a young software engineer contemplating emigration due to housing constraints. The team aimed to meet the needs of these marginalized demographic groups and promote intergenerational living, terraced farming, and the eco-tech industry. With their proposal recognized, they are now seeking partnerships and feedback to realize their ideas and make it a collective dream for the city.

A Space of Our Own
The housing situation in Hong Kong is characterized by unaffordability and limited space, leading to frustration for those seeking apartments. The concept of micro-units, where smaller spaces are more affordable, has become prevalent, but recent trends show that even small apartments are becoming expensive. To challenge this assumption, the idea of co-housing and co-living is gaining traction. Co-housing originated in Denmark and involves multiple families building homes together, sharing resources, and fostering a sense of community. Co-living, on the other hand, operates on a smaller scale of apartments and buildings, providing private and public spaces with shared amenities. The concept has found success in various parts of the world, including the United States and Taiwan. By reimagining homes as collective spaces, the trade-off between size and cost can be overcome, and a sense of community can be fostered. Co-living offers a promising solution to address the changing household dynamics and maintain social interactions in Hong Kong.

空間有限｜生活無限
探討香港房價問題，以一個普通三口之家為例，指出購房成本高昂，尤其對於想擁有600尺單位的家庭而言，需要花上長達60年的時間還清房債。全球各大城市也面臨著相似的挑戰，例如倫敦和三藩市。除了房價問題外，文章還觸及了城市發展的其他方面，包括土地利用、生活多樣性以及公共交通等。它呼籲利用創意和靈活的方式來充分利用有限的城市空間，以解決城市發展所面臨的挑戰。最終，它強調，若想使城市更繁榮、更宜居，必須從空間角度出發，制定全面的城市規劃。

Where Space Is Limited
The housing affordability crisis in Hong Kong, where exorbitant prices make it nearly impossible for families to own property. It highlights the global issue of housing affordability in growing urban areas, with cities implementing measures to control prices and increase housing supply. However, the author emphasizes that population growth remains a significant challenge, and unless housing supply can keep up, the crisis will persist. The structural constraints of geography, zoning, and economies of scale limit the speed at which cities can build. The article suggests that addressing the housing problem requires creative thinking, such as reevaluating housing models and encouraging shared living spaces to enhance efficiency and social connection in cities.
