Students from the Department of Data Science at City University of Hong Kong (CityUHK) won the Grand Prize at the "Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area Public Policy Data Governance Analysis Competition" in Guangzhou. Their project,
"Accessibility of Green Space Distribution for the Elderly in Hong Kong: A Geographic Information System-Based Approach to Identify Silver Oases and Accessibility Gaps," was selected from nearly 100 teams.
Using Geographic Information System (GIS) technology, the team analyzed the alignment between Hong Kong’s elderly population and green space resources, identifying well-served “Silver Oases” and underserved “Accessibility Gaps”. Their work provides valuable insights for optimizing elderly-friendly urban planning.
This achievement highlights CityUHK’s excellence in data science education, interdisciplinary research, and smart governance innovation.
Congratulations to the team on this outstanding achievement!
