Adapting Villages
Hong Kong, 2019
Hong Kong, 2019
International Workshop on Rural Development
ADAPT
Make something suitable for a new use or purpose; modify or become adjusted to new conditions.
TRANSFORMATIONS
Rural villages are changing at an unprecedented rate, the notion of the rural condition is today rife with preconceived ideas that have little in common with actual everyday countryside life. This workshop is interested in exploring “actual” rural conditions, to expose examples of villages that are changing and understand how and why they transform. We wish to expose how villages adapt and calibrate.
TALKS
The workshop is structured over two days, the first day is dedicated to talks, where 12 international experts, academics and professionals will present positions based on first-hand experience. Each talk will fall into three categories: Heritage / Modernization, Economics / Sustainability, and Community / Society.
