The programme aims to introduce students to the concept and practice of sustainable communities. In particular, the programme has an emphasis of understanding the ecological and social resources of urban and rural communities in Hong Kong and Asia, and the roles played by different stakeholders and sectors in protecting and revitalizing important assets and capitals for sustainability. It provides students with the basic knowledge and skills in some of the core revitalisation activities, including community engagement, nature and culture conservation, and sustainable agriculture. The programme also provides an introduction to the theories and principles of partnership and collaboration for sustainable management of values and capitals illustrated by real-life local and international case studies.
